By the Way, I’m Dying
by Greg Freier
A Full-Length Comedy in Two Acts
3W / 2M
Approximate Playing Time: 75 minutes

Kind-hearted hypochondriac, Harry, once suffered an accident that put his brain a little off kilter but no one ever believes his various ailments and claims that he is dying.  When daughter Sara and her husband, Roger, drop by for a visit with new baby, little Roger, his wife, Ellen, takes pains to make sure Harry is never alone with the baby.  Seems Harry has developed an obsession with little Harry’s soft spot. Grandma lives with Harry and Ellen.  She brings along her own sense of delusion by way of a myriad of invisible friends, currently Elmore, neither seen nor heard but very much an important character in the household despite his razor sharp claws.  When Harry claims once again to be dying, Grandma’s insistence that Death is hanging around the living room may prove Harry right once and for all. There is something strangely common in this uncommon family that will keep your audiences scratching their heads and immensely amused. $20 Single-Use Copyright Fee plus $60 Royalty per Performance for Amateur Theatre.  Professional Theatre Royalties Calculated on Application.
