Sarah Sits Shiva For Herself

3f, 1m

Sarah is 27 and dying. She throws a preemptive shiva for herself. Only three people show up: her ex-girlfriend, her overbearing mother, and Lou - her mother's wildly unfiltered childhood best friend.

What follows is a fast-talking, heart-spilling, deeply unconventional day of mourning where the living take center stage. The three sit and discuss lesbian sex, Judaism, legacy, and edible arrangements. They dye Sarah's hair blue. Re-hash their respective relationships. And eventually? Dance.

Reid Pope's Sarah Sits Shiva For Herself is a deeply life-affirming investigation of mortality that invites you in for some of kugel, and then punches you in the gut while leaning casually against the wall. It also happens to be really funny.
