DEATH: a love story

Jack and Moonie and have not seen each other since their split: a messy breakup years ago.  When they awaken to find that they have both died and ended up – together – in some kind of purgatorial liminal space, they must work together to figure out how they met their demise in order to ascend to the world beyond.  With only a large sentient screen providing cryptic clues, Jack and Moonie piece together their final day on Earth and realize, whether they like it or not, that their lives – and deaths – are more closely interlinked than either of them could have expected.

Welcome to DEATH: a love story a new dark comedy premiered by Dandelion Theatre, written by Max Ackerman (The Hands of Hypatia (and Other Stories), After Icarus).  This existential romance is for fans of surreal and post modern works like No Exit or Waiting for Godot and classic romantic films like When Harry Met Sally or Past Lives.
