Conversations After a Burial

Christopher Hampton, Yasmina Reza, Yasmina Reza

Overview

From the award-winning author of Art, Conversations After a Burial explores that ineffable moment of mourning, when the newly deceased is still almost palpable, the intense pause between absence and the return to everyday existence, between loss and life. Christopher Hampton's superb translation of Yasmina Reza's savage but richly comic play uncovers love and its inevitable betrayals. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2000.
