A person grappling with moving forward in life, desperate to just be told what to do and who to be now, meets someone trying to evade mortality by doing and being as much as possible. Their unique separate existential crises lead them to embark on a project together researching dead people and taking time to closely follow the path those people followed when alive. Weaving through these two people's first meeting, their time spent working together, and their last meeting. Evaluating the concept of the people who come into our lives: why and when. A nonlinear depiction and experience of grief and what it means to live and die.
Two characters (who can be played by actors of any gender) falling in and out of love with life and each other, all the way up to the end of one of their lives.
The play is a comedy that speaks to the fatigue people feel right now when it comes to facing making choices in this world where things are feeling increasingly impossible to endure. Each scene is a representation of one of the stages of grief, and they can be performed in any order.
“It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
