A Eulogy for Roman

Meet Milo, a nervous young man who shares the stage with an urn. But things aren't as dark as they seem. Milo is trying to give a eulogy for his friend Roman, but the ceremony proves unexpectedly difficult, and attendees are voluntarily enlisted to help him complete the memorial. Together, they celebrate life, confront death, and make a promise of their own. After an acclaimed world premiere in Edinburgh and an Off-Broadway debut at 59E59 in 2023 that was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Unique Theatrical Experience, A Eulogy for Roman will return in a uniquely immersive production for one night at The Foundry.
