With Rothwell at the helm as lead actress, creator, co-showrunner, and executive producer, her latest project, How To Die Alone, is a testament to her multifaceted talents. The ancient saying “a jack of all trades is a master of none” doesn’t apply here. On the contrary, Rothwell is a master of vulnerability. This feel-good comedy, which has been seven years in the making, explores themes of self-discovery, loneliness versus being alone, and the pursuit of happiness.
