The Vigil

When two sisters are summoned home to say good-bye to their dying father, the fractures of the family must be navigated as they all question their past as well as their future.

The Vigil, a new play from Sarah Anne Sumpolec, explores a family navigating the death of their husband and father. But vigils have a way of revealing buried truth.

Ellie (24) has been living at home to help her Mother (late 40’s) care for their dying father. Mickey (20) and Bex (22) reluctantly arrive home to say good-bye to their father. The family has been estranged and tensions run through this time together. Mickey, in particular, struggles with her decision to not stay in touch with her father and a kind Hospice Nurse (Portia, over 40) helps with insight and encouragement. As the three girls navigate these final days, Mickey realizes that perhaps their estrangement is no accident and the revelation could change their future as a family.
