Morticians In Love

A very black and hilarious comedy about love, sacred and profane, in Lydia's Eternal Acres Funeral Home, which is enlivened by two amorous morticians and a couple of really attractive corpses. "In the midst of death, there is life and love-sacred, profane, unrequited and almost always dysfunctional-in Christi Stewart-Brown's very black, five-character comedy (counting two corpses). Scarcely fare for the squeamish, with its excursions into heterosexual and homosexual couplings among the living and dead, the play…nonetheless comes off as a caustic, funny, sharp-eyed and skillfully performed autopsy on the difficulties of love… MORTICIANS IN LOVE may be morbid, but it has a heart." Lawrence van Gelder, The New York Times "… a morbid, pervy, and very funny farce… Sure, it's strange, but strangely touching too." Joe Brown, The Washington Post "What relationship is more tender and romantic than the one between a shy, sensitive female mortuary owner and a handsome, buffed, naked corpse? Christi Stewart-Brown's charmingly morbid comedy is so cheerful and upbeat, you'll hardly believe that you're watching a play about bisexual necrophilia." Paul Birchall, Back Stage West
