About this show
An original performance piece of real-life loss and grief, Widow delves into subjects often considered too delicate or uncomfortable to tackle. To avoid the isolation that can result from a well-intentioned hands-off approach – for the grieving party and their supporters – Widow instead offers unfiltered perspective into the author's experience. Through longing and laughter, humour and heartache, Widow sheds light on the unique and horrific realities of grief and loss, with insights for the audience on how to navigate trauma for themselves and those they love. Widow helps to connect understanding with grief, building bridges across unspeakable subjects.

I especially liked the box of keepsakes that Lowe has kept and explained to the audience where each of them had come from. When all we have left is memories in whatever form, treasure them.
