A grief-stricken elite diner seeks solace in a bespoke “last meal,” only to discover the server needs something far more urgent than remembrance: intervention.
Presented by The Village Theater Group, a New York City–based collective of actors, writers, and directors committed to producing bold, truthful, and accessible theater. They create a safe platform for artists to work on both time-honored classics and the new plays that will become tomorrow’s classics — bringing Broadway-level quality to an intimate, affordable venue.
A charged encounter in a secluded corner of a world-class restaurant between two strangers bound by grief and an unspoken truth.
A short play about loss, complicity, and the moment when remembrance becomes responsibility.
Last Meals unfolds during a bespoke “last meal” meant to honor a lost friend. What begins as an act of comfort is revealed as a confrontation, pushing both characters toward an urgent moral reckoning and a single, costly choice that turns grief into action.
This short play will take the stage as part of the Winter One-Act Festival in February 2026.
