It's 2008, and each night, Ernest has dinner at his son's resting place for company and conversation. This isn't much of a problem until the plot next to his son's is taken. A new visitor, Max, comes to the gravesite of his recently deceased father and quickly takes issue with Ernest's loud and hungry personality. Left Overs examines what it means to die and to live beyond our expiration date -- how is our legacy passed on? How do we survive outside of our bodies? What does it mean to lose a father, and what does it mean to lose a son?

    Ragone is a master of turning a belly-laughing joke on page 2 into a pure gut punch on page 10. With lovable, flawed characters at the center, we beautifully dive into topics of the "right" way to grieve, parent/child relationships, and the forms acceptance takes all in 10 minutes. (With a fantastic opportunity to showcase an older actor). Absolutely brilliant.
