MORTALITY – PLAY ABOUT HEARING THAT YOU’RE GOING TO DIE

Brenda, mother of four, is enjoying life. She lives with her four kids, all grown up, but not showing any signs of moving out yet. One night, her slightly eccentric neighbour, Celeste comes over bearing her Astrology charts. Celeste has a bit of a reputation for being able to predict the future, although the part about John coming into money and Pete meeting a nice girl have yet to come true. For Brenda it’s a bit of fun, sitting down, playing with the charts and all having a few drinks together. But tonight Celeste gazes at the charts like normal, turns a bit pale and then informs Brenda that she’s going to die!
Brenda is typically skeptical, but when John hears he’s getting $20 000 and Pete actually meets that girl at the gym, she starts to panic! A play about hearing that you’re going to die.
