DRAMATIC READING
APPENDAGE
By Derek Murphy
Directed by Roy Steinberg

In-Person Reading at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse
No Tickets Required – Free to Attend – Donations Accepted
A darkly comic and psychologically sharp two-hander, Appendage by Derek Murphy explores grief, masculinity, and the messy ways we cope with loss. Set in a modest New York apartment, two men bound by the same sorrow—mourning the same woman—grapple with unresolved pain, clumsy communication, and escalating tension that’s part black comedy, part emotional reckoning. At once unsettling, funny, and deeply human, APPENDAGE examines how grief can shape identity and the fierce, often flawed ways we try to move past it.
