    Hi

    Can anyone help me here.

    A few years ago I attended a play but I dont know the name and would like to find the script.

    Basically its about 10 minutes.

    Its set in a funeral home

    2 women are talking over a mans coffin

    I think he sits up in the coffin

    Its very funny and possibly American.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Terry Pratchet

    Try a Google of one act plays and see if any of the listings online jog your memory a bit.
    Some of the sites give brief descriptions of the setting/number of actors etc.

    The play might be "In the shadow of the glen" by JM Synge.
