Elaine has just lost her beloved husband, Joe, to a heart attack which she may have accidentally caused. She’d be devastated, maybe even a little guilty, if she could just get over the fact he’s now in heaven with his late, first wife, Jenny.
As Elaine finds herself obsessively investigating her dead husband's possible cheating, (as much as one can from one realm to another), she successfully manages to avoid reality, and the grief that comes along with it.
Performed and written by International Emmy Award Winner Shoshana McCallum, Merely Beloved is a darkly funny and deeply compassionate interrogation of one of the most important questions in the universe; where does love go when we die?

“Shosh was absolutely brilliant! I loved it so much… (she was) hilarious and charming, and the play was poignant and rich. Bravo. I’m so glad I got to see it.” – Antonia Prebble
“An emotional journey spun by clever wit and sharp writing that will dance about in your brain for days after.” – Josh Thomson
