Description - Conversations after a Burial by Yasmina Reza

Simon Weinberg is dead. And, on a November morning, six people gather at his funeral - brothers and a sister, lovers and in-laws. Mourning allows them special privilege and, for a few hours, they are isolated in another world under a lingering sun, in the shadow of the deceased.From the author of the award-winning play 'Art', Conversations after a Burial explores that ineffable moment of mourning, when the newly deceased is still almost palpable, the moment in which one can maintain the memory of a breath, the intense pause between absence and the return to everyday existence, between loss and life.Christopher Hampton's superb translation of Yasmina Reza's savage but richly comic play uncovers love and its inevitable betrayals.
