This first of three instalments of The Grief Trilogy sets a sombre and intense tone for these plays. These are dark themes which are treated with unapologetic directness and honesty. The expectation is, therefore, that the experience will not be easy. The production, in fact, depicts some very difficult and raw emotions. Some moments in the play will test the audience and their willingness, or even their ability, to ponder the recesses of the mind.
