A deeply moving exploration of love, honesty, family and grief.
Grief is arrogant… and Hell is other people!
How quickly should we move on from tragedy when it starts to inconvenience other people? Is there a time limit? Should there be one? Is it relative to the nature of the tragedy itself, or one’s ability to cope?
Mary had a son, now her son is dead, and that is all. But her friend Jenn is hosting a dinner party, just like before, a chance to catch up. No pressure. Nothing big. Just old friends. It would be great to see you. If you’re free. If you’re ready.
Darkly funny and achingly tender, Staying Alive is a play about the death of a child; and an exploration of love, honesty, family and grief. It’s about how in the wake of irreparable loss, life goes on and we do survive.
