What the critics say
Good Grief...sets out to combine the immediacy of the stage with the intimacy afforded by film. Forty-five minutes slip by with an easy naturalism that would be hard to match on stage.- Susannah Clapp, The Observer
What counts is the ambience – the halfway state aligning both with the characters’ condition and the Covid context. We’re all sitting on grief at the moment. This succinct effort allows that a brief bubbling forth.- Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph
A play/film hybrid explores the lurching complexity of loss with style... Good Grief is a bittersweet study of bereavement... The script expertly packs an eight-month arc of bereavement into less than 50 minutes.- Nick Curtis, Evening Standard
