Theatre 3 – The Cemetery Club

Theatre 3 – The Cemetery Club by Ivan Menchell - Dramatic Comedy

It's a simple story. Three Jewish widows, long-time friends, meet once a month for tea, then visit their husbands' graves. There's sweet Ida, happy in her memories of Murray and in no hurry to "move on"; nascent party girl Lucille, who's finally getting payback against her unfaithful Harry; and Doris, whose devotion to Abe, even in death, seems borderline unhealthy.

Things are going along swimmingly until the arrival of Sam, a shy butcher whose deceased wife is buried in the same cemetery as their husbands. Sam is immediately pounced on by a purring Lucille, but it's Ida that Sam has doe-eyes for. The budding romance threatens to destroy the women's friendship, first because Lucille wants Sam for herself later because Lucille and Doris make a horribly misguided attempt to save Ida from potential heartbreak.
