A funeral parlour in a small Midwestern town is the setting for these three darkly funny and touching short plays. In 'Tell Tale', we enter the private thoughts of a respectable married mortician, lost in passion for a beautiful real estate broker who markets to the bereaved. In 'Thief of Tears', we meet Mac, the attractive daughter of an upper-class WASP family who frequents the Viper Room and steals jewelry from corpses. And in 'Thirteen Things about Ed Carpolotti', a newly widowed suburban matron finds her world crashing about her - only to be rescued by love from beyond the grave.
