these words that'll linger like ghosts till the day I drop down dead

Work:: these words that'll linger like ghosts till the day I drop down dead (S02004940994)

A poetic exploration of what it means to lose someone. We follow a grieving sister and her friend putting on a play as a method of catharsis, playing out the final weeks of her deceased brother's life. The interactions they shared, the words said, the conversations never had; opening a web of lies, wishful thinking and, ultimately, the harder side of grief which tears us from each other. The two characters constantly shift in their want to tell this story, and what is morally right in its telling; asking whether theatre is the best tool for therapy.
