Literary Lamentations

a full-length play

Coming to the stage

April 2024

The Living have been invited to take a peek into what really happens to lost souls after death. There, they find heroes from ancient stories. Men who slayed dragons, served as knights to King Arthur, and were lauded as great warriors. However, when a lost woman wanders in, things begin to change. Each of the residents of this liminal afterlife must eventually come to terms with the consequences of their own actions in life. Whether they’re able to move on is up to them... unless the Living choose to intervene.
