Works about bereavement multiplying
Chicago Tribune: "Aside from the icily unsentimental 'The Year of Magical Thinking,' in limited Broadway engagement, there's Sherry Kramer's more emotional 'When Something Wonderful Ends,' which was at the recent Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville. In Chicago, audiences can ponder the ongoing 'Rabbit Hole' at the Goodman Theatre, David Lindsay-Abaire's sad play about the marital aftermath of the accidental death of a couple's small child."

I completely agree that death sells well. There is some sense of fascination with not only death, but with those affected by it. People are curious about the unknown and these plays serve this fascination well. It is so easy to get sucked into that negative sense of the world, much easier than it is to get out. People who haven't experienced this are simply curious while people who have are looking for someone or something to connect to.
