The narrative follows Elaine, who grapples with the recent loss of her husband, Joe, and her complicated feelings towards his death and alleged infidelity. With themes of grief, love, and emotional avoidance, the performance intertwines humor and heart through Elaine's obsessive investigations and avoidance of reality. McCallum's exploration of flawed female characters invites audiences to reflect on the complex nature of love and loss.
