Three Viewings

Funeral parlors are somber places with odd pockets of hilarity”, Hatcher says of his play. Three Viewings speaks truths for anyone who has, in the wake of loss, uttered the inner monologue of wild confession that can follow.

Common wisdom says that funerals are for the living. The dead take their secrets with them and the living are left to fret about what was and was not shared—a fresh set of secrets. In a mid-western funeral home, we meet Emil, a lovelorn funeral director with hidden depths of heart, Mac, a vivacious woman with a covert agenda and Virginia, whose husband’s death leaves her with a new “view” into the love of her life.
