The euphemisms are endless. For a phenomenon so certain and all-encompassing, humans are terribly good at looking for ways to avoid talking about death. It's easy to forget that the concept of checking out can be complex, contradictory-funny, even. Especially when an old lady with a bone-dry wit is involved. Three generations of women face brutal questions of mortality in this uproarious pitch-black comedy from Melissa Bubnic, internationally renowned writer of\u003cem\u003e Boys Will Be Boys \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eBeached\u003c\/em\u003e, with Griffin's Associate Artist Andrea James in the director's chair - hand on heart and tongue in cheek.
