Effective and moving tale of grief. Simple concept but done so well. Great dialogue and wonderful use of setting that evokes all the right emotions. Touching. So happy to see this staged.

This short play will move you, even if you haven't experienced a deep loss. However, if you have, it is likely to resonate that much more. The piece touches beautifully on regret, longing for impossible chances and the complexities of grief. A beautiful and poetic piece of work.

The Shape of Goodbye is such beautifully crafted and moving work. I am struck by a complicated grief that is so relatable and the skillful way Mabey handles a difficult topic with so many stand-out lines, such crisp clear writing, it doesn't get better than this.
