THE FUNERAL a comedy...? by Jon Kovach
If Luke's not joining the funeral downstairs, his family is bringing Gammy up.
Luke hides out in his bedroom because he doesn't care about his great grandmother's funeral happening in his parent's living room downstairs. His beautiful cousin, conflicted immediate family, and eclectic friends all visit Luke, each with their own scheme to lure him out of his bedroom. Will Luke venture downstairs, or will his parents follow through with their threat to bring Gammy up? Themes: Family, pride, equality, loss. |
