A sad postcard moment between Beth and her grandfather becomes magical and infused with hope. Grandfather paints a beautiful picture of what was and what is. Beth and audiences will carry this moment in their hearts for a while.

A sweet and tender scene of a grandfather reassuring his precious granddaughter that although grandma is gone, she is really all around in nature. And by sharing this explanation, grandpa is also able to find comfort. In just a few pages Rachel Feeny-Williams makes us care deeply for these two characters and leaves us with a smile and maybe a tear or two.

A poignant and deeply touching dialogue across the generations. Rachel Feeny-Williams has crafted a wonderful little play which could act as a smart illustration of how to deal with the trauma of death and grief for old and young. How amazing it would be to see this performed with actors of the ages the characters are given. A little gem.

This is possibly the most joyful play about grief I've ever had the pleasure to read. It's especially wonderful that it's a about explaining death to a child by focusing on life: not just the life of the person who was lost but the cycle of life itself. Simple and moving without being overly sentimental (it's just the right amount) with two lovely characters you care about instantly. In a very short time, you feel their connection to each other and to the loved one that's done. Just lovely.

A sweet reminder that death is part of a cycle and once that happens, we come back as part of a larger world. A man helps his grand daughter accept the death of her grandmother by letting her know she is still being watched by the leaves around her. Loving and tender, this play is heartwarming.
