Superb storytelling by three memorable characters: a mild mannered funeral director, a beautiful Los Angeles drifter and the widow of a wheeler dealer. Devastatingly funny and poignant.

A funeral parlor in a small midwestern town is the setting for these three darkly funny and touching interweaving monologues. In Tell Tale, we enter the private thoughts of a respectable married mortician, played by Laurence Carr, who is lost in passion for a beautiful real estate broker who markets to the bereaved. In Thief of Tears, we meet Mac, played by Ann Citron, 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, RoseMarie Navarra portrays a newly widowed suburban matron who finds her world crashing about her – only to be rescued by love from beyond the grave.

New York Magazine wrote that Three Viewings is "essential viewing..." and Variety stated that the monologues are "...beautifully spun tales that have the cumulative impact - and surprise payoffs... of one of the season's small indisputable triumphs."

"Nowadays it is rare to encounter a genuine writer - someone, that is, who thinks about such things as character and structure, someone who has a genuine feel for language. So when such a thing comes along, it's exciting. Jeffrey Hatcher('s)... Three Viewings is the genuine article...Hatcher's voice is one I want to hear again." New York Daily News

"One of the best plays I've ever seen ...masterful."
James Yeara, Metroland

"This theatrical gem, in reminding us of the value of art, also reminds us of what it means to be a human being; of the risks we are asked to take and what we may well become if we don't take them."
Jeffrey Borak, The Berkshire Eagle
