A Witness

A new play about coping with your best friends through love, death, grief, alcohol,

Synopsis

In the 6 months since Kosmo died, Billie, Nathan, & Des have been spinning out from each other, their tight-knit universe collapsing without Kosmo to hold their center of gravity. Billie is a hospice nurse with a new patient: Chuck, who has chosen Death With Dignity… as soon as she can get her witness to answer the phone. Nathan was Kosmo’s long-time partner, but things weren’t so happy in their life before Kosmo got sick --- & a secret he’s keeping with Des threatens to come unraveled when Chloe arrives to disrupt the already-shaky foundations of their relationships.

CONTENT INFORMATION: This show is recommended for ages 14 & up and includes adult language, discussions of assisted suicide and Death with Dignity, terminal illness, and alcoholism and drug addiction.
