When I started writing for BroadwayWorld, never did I think that I would be an audience of one.  Then 2020 happened and here I am, the lone spectator, reviewing a one-act play-the first live performance I've seen in over a year.  Maybe fittingly, it is a play about death.  More specifically, it's about coming to terms with the feelings that arise from unresolved issues we have with those about to transition. I'm sure most of us have thought about death a great deal over the past year.  Have we, though, thought about exploring our relationships in order to reach a place where we are at peace should the unthinkable happen?  

Award winning EMH Productions presents a monthly theatre series titled Matters of Life and Death, starting with Gone but Not Forgotten by Scott Charles. Each month the company will showcase a short piece by one of our wonderful writers who belong to our Artist’s Collective Writer’s Room.
