It’s summer in Hurt, Virginia, where a lone cabin fills each year with campers. There's homecooked breakfast and an army of box fans and lots of shifting in the dark. Welcome to Grief Camp: a study of loss and adolescence.
Grief Camp creates a vivid, fully inhabited world and assembles conditions ripe for drama, but never shapes them into a story. Without conflict or progression, the play drifts, looping through the passing days. And really, instead of these kids, I left thinking of Bill Murray.
Grief Camp proves so elliptical and amorphous in its writing that it seems to drift along without providing anything to hold your attention, unless you’re riveted by the sight of young people fighting to get into their cabin’s sole bathroom.
