ORDER THIS TITLE
It’s a testament to Jenny Stafford’s skillful writing that we learn so much about a couple’s relationship in this short, touching piece about freedom, life choices, dreams, and the consequences of a cross-country move.
Ashley has given it all up to follow her husband’s career, finding solace in People magazine and candy bars. Is that really a life? Is that really living? In the meantime, husband Jacob can’t resist a good antique store and wondering about the previous owners. But when he arrives home with his latest treasure, Ashley is horrified. He intends for the pretty — but definitely used — urn to hold the ashes of whichever of them goes first. This opens a Pandora’s box, both hilarious and heartbreaking, about their relationship, their dreams, and what makes us truly alive.
Premiering at online@TheSpaceUK, Rob Warren of Everything Theatre said in his review: “It shows how much can be portrayed in such a brief space of time when the writing is crisp and sharp. Alive really does live up to its name. By the end you feel a sense of renewed life, of being, yes, alive, of wanting to jump up and down on your sofa in celebration of what we have in the right now.”

Whether you are a professional, volunteer, or student prop master, this book will take you through the necessary steps of thought and action needed to be a properties master in the theatrical world.
The seamlessness of the trajectory of the play is thanks to the quick-witted dialogue between the characters... Considering the premise is so morbid, the script, written by Jenny Stafford, is unexpectedly hilarious... The foreshadowing and symbolism throughout the production, meanwhile, complement the writing with a sense of sophisitcation and completion. Reem Ahmed, The Indiependent
