You’ve heard of the 27 club, right? The place where the talented young people of our world go to die. Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison….to name a few. All died aged 27 and all were talents the world won’t forget. But what about those people with just as much talent who die, but miss the 27 club cut off? Where do they go? It turns out to be a dentist’s office. Until Amy Winehouse arrives, thinking she should be at the 27 club…
THREES takes a comic spin on the urban legend: “All actors die in threes.” The play looks at what happens to three actors who are former classmates from Juilliard, whose careers took very different turns. One has had a career as an action hero in numerous movies and is a household name, one has had what she thinks is a brilliant avant garde stage career and the other, well, she’s done dog food commercials and won herself a lifetime supply of dog food. The trio meets up, again, at The Advance Obituary Office – where the obituaries are written BEFORE they die, after their fifteen-minutes of fame has faded and the gig is up. THREES is a dark comedy set in an obituary office with a film noir meets sci-fi tone.

We’ve always wondered what happens to our soul when we die. If you’re religious, you may believe that your soul will travel to meet your God, or be sent down to burn in eternal damnation, depending on the kind of person you’ve been (and what kind of God you believe in). Some people say they recall hearing a voice, and seeing a bright light. Others, more skeptical say this is merely chemistry and what happens when our brains are deprived of oxygen. Some people believe that we are simply born again, to live eternally, in one life after the other. Others believe there is simply nothing. But the answer is that we simply do not know. Today we meet a man who dies and we see what happens to him in our author’s imagination. No bright light, only darkness and an eternity with his thoughts. But sometimes something can come out of the darkness. Something important. A Monologue about what happens when you die.
