The Mourning Show

A Senior Thesis in TDPS for Hank Graham and Beza Tessema

by Hank Graham

Poster for The Mourning Show by Hank Graham

Lowell Matthews, former child star and host of tv’s hottest morning talk show, returns to the air for the first time in two weeks after the death of his former co-host and twin sister, Laurel. He’s doing fine–fabulous, really–just so long as nobody brings her up. Honestly, if he could just have a couple more weeks to process what happened, he’d feel almost back to normal. But reruns are boring and ratings are slipping, so Lowell finds himself back at work acting like nothing is wrong, even as the show unravels around him live on air. A play about work-life balance.
