"One day you’re on your knee proposing, the next day you’re standing at a grave remembering how nervous you were. And somehow... forty years have passed between the two days."
Every month, New Yorkers Ida, Lucille and Doris meet up on a Sunday for tea, gossip and reminiscing before visiting the Jewish cemetery to pay their respects at their husbands’ graves. United by their decades-long friendship and their shared experiences of widowhood, the trio have very different attitudes to life after bereavement.
Doris remains devoted to her late husband, believing that marriages are forever, while extrovert Lucille devotes herself instead to ‘playing the field’. Ida longs to start a new chapter in her life, but feels a little guilty at the idea of loving another man. A chance encounter at the cemetery with Sam, a widower, opens the possibility of a new romance for Ida. But can the relationship survive Doris and Lucille’s meddling?
A touching and humorous exploration of friendship, loss and finding love again later in life.
This amateur production of "The Cemetery Club" is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD.
