Staying Alive
Mary had a son, now her son is dead, and that is all. But her friend Jenn is hosting a dinner party, just like before, a chance to catch up. No pressure. Nothing big. Just old friends. It would be great to see you. If you're free. If you're ready. Darkly funny, and achingly tender, Kat Roberts' play Staying Alive is about the death of a child; an exploration of love, honesty, family and grief; about how in the wake of any irreparable loss, we find ways to connect and survive. Staying Alive was produced by Blackshaw Theatre Company and first performed at the Pleasance, London, in 2015.

was alright! would give 2 1/2 if possible, hard subject explored well in the time it had. i do feel like nothing really happened, it was more so just a couple of scenarios with a non-specific ending, would’ve liked more conflict in the present and more plot beats, maybe more time to see more shades of Mary’s experience, when she’s alone, if she told her sons dad etc
