Vigils

Program
News Release
by Noah Haidle
directed by Andrew Peters​
It has been two years since a Widow’s husband—a fireman—died in a heroic act, but she is not ready to move on. She captures her husband’s Soul in a box, while his Body wanders around their home, replaying memories from their lives together and giving occasional hugs. When a Wooer appears on the scene, the Widow finds herself faced with the choice and consequences of letting go.

At once heartbreaking and hilarious, Vigils is a generous and bittersweet play about the absurdities of loss, change, and love. Directed by Andrew Peters, MFA Class of 2016.
