NEW YORK—There is no way to prepare for dealing with death, as inevitable or unexpected as it might be. Playwrights Simon Stephens and Nick Payne provide examples of this in their respective one-acts “Sea Wall” and “A Life,” while also showing how much an impact the deceased have on those who remain. These two one-person monologues—both having their New York premieres—have been combined into a single evening at The Public Theater.
