Overview
WE ALL HAVE CRACKS under the surface. Some of us never show it. In the play Come Die With Us, Victoria Gwynne shares an authentic and unique story that's relatable to audiences around the world. Many of us internally struggle with trauma, grief, and trying to heal our pain. Come Die With Us challenges mental health assumptions through the fictional story of Laurel; a funeral home sales agent who seems to have the perfect life, then dies by suicide. Always in and out of therapy, denying she even needs help, she struggles with believing she'll ever change or heal.
