Moving, Intimate, Thought-provoking, Intense, Profound

See it if you want to share someone's experience of profound grief and loss. This doesn't feel like a traditional theatrical work.

Don't see it if you don't want to think about death and tragedy. While it has some funny moments, it doesn't shy away from brutal reality.

Intense, Thought-provoking, Relevant, Profound, Intelligent

See it if you want to face grief and loss and can manage the intensity of the performer/writers attempt to come to terms with death of his 2 teen kids

Don't see it if you prefer lighter fare although kudos to Campbell for bringing this universal human experience out of the closet - raw and well performed.

Slow, Quirky, Indulgent, Confusing, Ambitious

See it if you get a 70 minute one man show about dealing with grief sound like a good use of your time.

Don't see it if you were hoping to resolve any of your own grief issues because this is NOT a group therapy session kind of experience, as it could be. Read more

Thought-provoking, Riveting, Resonant, Profound

See it if You’re ready to feel. One man’s story gives us a glimpse into the often unspoken experience of loss.

Don't see it if You’re afraid to delve deep and connect with strangers.

The New York Times

“Campbell insists that ‘Grief’ is not an act of sadomasochistic indulgence, nor is the act of dramatizing pain anything new...’Grief’ simply asks for 75 minutes in a black box.”

Campbell has written (and performs) a beautiful testament to a father’s love and to a husband and wife’s learning that those we love never truly leave us and there are things that death cannot touch.

“In reality, his play is a roadmap to our understanding of the grieving process...His exploration reaches into those dark places we sometimes desperately try to hide.”
