43 Stages of Grieving: A Comedy

The Drama Book Shop presents, in association with Jay Michaels Global Communications, “43 Stages of Grieving: A Comedy” - A talkback, signing, and live podcast recording.

About the play

43 Stages of Grieving: A Comedy tells the story of a pregnant, dying robot and a human who attempted to live forever. Like almost anyone who has grieved, they can both attest the idea there are only 5 stages of grieving is hilarious. But with a presumably incoming infant on the way, they can’t sit around and eat cheese all day (there are of course stages of grief for both hard cheese and soft cheese). Together they try to make plans for an unknown motherhood, kind but complicated technology, and a future without them. This is a comedy for a grief saturated world.
