    This play has me with the very first lines of dialogue! Cochran dives right into the conflict as Jennifer finds herself “experiencing a normal, healthy response” to discovering she is now a ghost. The idea that even after death we may still be held to the rules and regulations in the icy grip of corporate America, where the unfeeling, dead behind the eyes ghosts make for perfect worker bees. The piece abounds with humor, hope, and delicious word play, all balanced between lovely juxtaposition between the living and the ghosts who walk and work amongst them.
