Ida, Lucille and Doris are part of a club – the cemetery club!

Every month they meet at Ida’s New York house for tea, then trundle off to the cemetery to remember good times and gossip with their late husbands.

Their lives are changed quite dramatically when, one day, they meet Sam at the cemetery.

This touching play about three superannuated, feuding Jewish women is funny, wise and gloriously witty.
