Be a Good Little Widow, by Bekah Brunstetter
A quirky comedy by This is Us writer/producer Bekah Brunstetter, Be a Good Little Widow, contemplates how devotion and hope can persevere in the midst of unexpected loss.

Life can be messy. Melody thought being a young wife was hard, until she became a widow. As she contemplates the proper way to grieve, her mother-in-law is by her side with never-ending, yet well-meaning, expert advice. From dutiful black dresses to inappropriate outbursts, Melody navigates an unchartered course towards understanding what it means to find someone through losing them. Brunstetter's quirky comedy contemplates how devotion and hope can persevere in the midst of unexpected loss.

The New York Times declared "Be a Good Little Widow" to be "Delicately satisfying...[Ms. Brunstetter] writes fresh, unfussy dialogue and characters who earn their laughs and emotional moments by honest means." According to Backstage, "Bekah Brunstetter's powerful new play marries the humor and sadness of grief. Brunstetter's words pierce the soul, and she makes the depths of the human experience profoundly relatable."
