Deathbed

Danny doesn't want to deal

Thomas has things he'd like to forget

Steven loves too much

Susan feels betrayed

Martin is confused

And Ian wants to know what death is really like

Standing at the intersection of death, desire, memory and disease, how can we reasonably articulate our own pain in the face of another's suffering?

Maybe it's just easier to read a book

And have a sandwich

" ... a coolly thoughtful and taut meditation by the stylish playwright Mark Schultz ... Mr Schultz writes with a miniaturist's sense of scale. Following the lead of Mamet and Albee, he prunes his dialogue to one and two-word sentences and builds deceptively complex exchanges out of short, punchy scenes" ~ NY Times

"Shrewd and funny" ~ Village Voice

"[Schultz] has a biting disregard for self-pity and a paradoxically spectacular grasp on grief" ~ Time Out
