One is never too old to fall in love – even after the age of fifty. Some relationships are so strong that nothing could possibly break them…not even death. The Cemetery Club debuted on Broadway in 1990 and is a story about love and friendship and how they endure conflict and loss through time. The story follows the lives of three widows, Ida, Doris and Lucille, who form a "cemetery club" in which they visit the cemetery each month to talk to and remember their deceased husbands. Though they are extremely close to one another, the three women have very different personalities.
Several poignant moments carry through the laughter, and the play has many appealing qualities, including the deft way it deals with the daily aspects of experiencing loss. A surprise event near the end emphasizes the importance of living every day and telling those significant people in our lives that they are loved and make a difference. But the path to love after loss, regardless of age, is filled with more magic and meaning in these contemporary and confusing times than is packaged in the dialogue of this play. The Cemetery Club communicates with hope that love does indeed last even after loss, and there remains no time limit to finding love again.
