Good Grief

After thirty, happy years of marriage, a husband is left to wade through the oncoming tide of grief, as a procession of friends and family, either unable or unwilling to find the right words, unwittingly exacerbate his heightened emotions and irrational outpourings.

 

Inspired by a true story of love, loss and friendship, Good Grief is a brutally honest and personal account of one man’s attempts to deal with the reality of loss and the ensuing void which threatens to consume him. Expect belly laughs, tears, and larger than life characters, all rooted in the truth of a very human experience. 

​

Drawing from his own personal experiences to write his debut play, Adie has undoubtedly laid himself bare and, as a result, the play packs very real and occasionally uncomfortable punches, all served up in a web of dark humour. As Adie himself says. “I hope it might serve as some sort of twisted therapy for anyone else who may be coping with loss.”
