Show Info

Written and performed by Brendan George
Conceived and directed by Peter Charney

Meet Milo, a nervous young man who shares the stage with an urn. But things aren’t as dark as they seem.

Milo is trying to give a eulogy for his friend Roman, but the ceremony proves unexpectedly difficult, and attendees are voluntarily enlisted to help him complete the memorial. Together, they celebrate life, confront death, and make a promise of their own.

After a sold-out run in last year's East to Edinburgh festival and a critically-acclaimed world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, A Eulogy for Roman returns to New York City for its Off Broadway debut.
