The loved one

Yale University based NZ playwright Julie Mckee’s one-act play about death and two maidens, Invitation to a Funeral, well reviewed in NYT: “a wonderfully wry trip to the funeral parlor” about two women who come together over an open-coffin viewing of the man they were both once married to. “Ms. McKee knows that there are better ways to delineate characters than by giving them windy, emotive speeches.”
