Christopher Hampton, Yasmina Reza, Yasmina Reza
From the award-winning author of Art, Conversations After a Burial explores that ineffable moment of mourning, when the newly deceased is still almost palpable, the intense pause between absence and the return to everyday existence, between loss and life.
