Tickets

When James’ frigid Austrian father dies, it’s his fragile Maltese mother’s future death that he is bizarrely consumed with. Good Grief follows James as he struggles to feel his feelings after growing up in an immigrant household where the only acceptable emotion was gratitude. James’ latest solo dramedy examines the nature of loss, the rupture-repair cycle in relationships, and all the small things that make families funny.

“Gangl is an inspiring spark of hope…” – Orlando Sentinel

“Incredibly funny… Brilliantly written and stunningly acted.” – Winnipeg Free Press

“The empathetic charm of this work comes from the vulnerable depths Gangl ushers his audience into” – The Edmonton Journal
