From The Last Great Hunt comes an extremely funny (but tactful) play about suicide.

Premiering at Fringe World 2013, Minnie & Mona..., a black comedy and play within a play, soars from the get-go — making the audience yelp with laughter one moment and becoming intensely serious and heartbreaking the next. It's a mark of the theatremakers' craft that you're not sure which of those two categories some scenes fit into. Actors Arielle Gray (Mona) and Gita Bezard (Minnie) flawlessly carry out an impressive work written by Jeffrey Jay Fowler and directed by Kathryn Osborne.
