After 30 years, Kemp has come to say goodbye to his sick, elderly aunt. But don't order the flowers for the service just yet. Performed as part of Westport Country Playhouse's 2008 Season, VIGIL is the much lauded, new play by award-winning Morris Panych, one of Canada's most celebrated playwrights. Starring Tony Award nominees Malcolm Gets (Television's 'Caroline in the City') and theatre legend Helen Stenborg, VIGIL tells the wickedly funny story of a selfish bank drudge who is tending to the dying aunt he hasn't seen in 30 years. She, however, isn't going anywhere anytime soon. VIGIL is sure to appeal to those who love their comedy with a dark twist.
