Woke Up Alone

Factor

2013

Woke Up Alone is a necromancing play told in five scenes. It starts with the grieving protagonist struggling to grasp the grim reality of waking up to find out his wife has died in the night and proceeds through the Five Stages of Grief.

Four lush and mournful instrumental interludes woven throughout and bookending Woke Up Alone capture the emotions of the widower as he speaks with his wife’s ghost, a false prophet, a doctor, a psychiatrist, a medicine man, his own conscience and the devil.
