5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and thoroughly enjoyable!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dearly Departed. (Paperback)
This is a hilarious look at the life through the lives of a quirky Southern family who just can't seem to come to grips with the passing of "Daddy Bud", the patriarch of the family. The characters are full of spunk and vigor, not to mention the dialogue, which abounds with true laugh-out-loud humor. From the holier-than-thou Aunt Marguerite to the above-it-all widow Raynelle, this play is a definate winner!

A play revisited,
This review is from: Dearly Departed. (Paperback)
I was in a production of Dearly Departed several years ago and revisited it by purchasing the play.
The humor is well structured for such a simple story. Despite the numerous characters in the play, it all seems to fit nicely. The characters come alive while reading it and it contains many choices of great scenes and monologues to work with for both men and women.

A few funny parts, but...,
By JM in Jacksonville "Jorge in Jacksonville" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dearly Departed. (Paperback)
I just saw a production of this play, and I can't believe it's the same show the other reviewers are talking about. There are a few very funny monologues, but, overall, this play's humor is about as funny as (it actually reminded me a lot of) the old sitcom "Mama's Family" - you know, the spinoff of the Carol Burnett show. Additionally, there was bathroom humor written with the intellectual sophistication of a couple of junior high school boys, and a running gag about a woman with multiple miscarriages that was apparently meant to be funny - which the audience instead (correctly) found to be sad, offensive, and in extremely poor taste. The production I saw featured some very good actors, doing some very good acting - but the material they had just STANK. If you believe that "The Beverly Hillbillies" represented the pinnacle of the wit and humor of our civilization, you will love this show. Otherwise, save your money.
