    “

    I saw this play as it kicked off the 2025 Boston Theater Marathon, and my god, this is such a funny play. It feels like a beautiful collision of a modern play about grief and a classic vaudeville sketch, and Meade has handled every element of that confusing mixture with incredible deftness. So much fun.
