The play explores dementia, generational inheritance, and the fear of becoming one’s parents.

Ever Productions presents the New York premiere of Obit., a new play by Trey Everett that will run May 14-30, with an official opening on May 18, at East Village Basement.
Everett started writing Obit. when he learned he was going to be a father. In the play, an anxious soon-to-be father returns to his estranged dad’s chaotic New York apartment and is pulled into a messy, darkly funny confrontation with family history, forgotten memories, and the unraveling mind of a man he thought he’d already said goodbye to, until an obituary forces him to rewrite what legacy really means. Obit. explores dementia, generational inheritance, and the fear of becoming one’s parents, while asking what, if anything, we leave behind when memory fails.
Cast and creative team will be announced soon.
