“Wickedly dark… hilarious, quirky and heartfelt.”
-Variety

ACADEMY AWARD-WINNER OLYMPIA DUKAKIS (Moonstruck) is Grace, a woman of few words and the aunt of Kemp, who—after 30 years— has traveled cross-country to be with her on her deathbed.

Kemp’s problem is: she’s not dying fast enough.

Gallows humor and Kemp’s diatribes on humanity and mortality fuel the delightfully dark narrative of Vigil, but it is Grace’s economical contributions to the dialogue that give this delightful play its weight and profundity.

“Let’s not talk about anything depressing, alright? Do you want to be cremated?” - Kemp in Vigil
