“a Hauntingly Funny Meditation on Grief”
A Rabbi, A Monk, And A Priest Walk Into A Bar is a darkly comic family drama set in the hours before a father’s funeral.
When Bennet retreats into his father’s study to write the perfect eulogy, a flickering light convinces him he’s receiving a sign from beyond. What begins as a quiet act of devotion quickly draws his family into a charged confrontation about faith, memory, inheritance, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive grief.
Blending sharp humor with emotional precision, this play explores how belief can comfort, distort, and ultimately shape the way we remember the people we love.
