Stemming: The Reading

Ground Floor Theatre, New York City, Off-Off-Broadway

About the Show

On August 28th, 1998, two sisters were killed in an automobile accident, and the world of two New York City police officers was turned upside down. In Stemming: The Reading, we meet the two young men, on the one year anniversary of the death of their wives- and are quickly introduced to the dichotomy of grief. Through their only contact, a phone conversation, once a month, every month, the weight of guilt, and the pressures of loss spirals them both desperately through a quest for the taste of loss personal connection, and proves- to the resulting effects of all involved- you can only save your own world.
