    I have always thought of menus as items you just want to get out of the way when dining so you can move on to pleasant conversation or a refreshing cocktail. Well, now I really think this way, and I was eerily reminded by Cindi Samson-Braff that choices in life can be intimidating and stressful, despite the benefit of having the power to make one. Choices about death and preparing for it are a part of life, and this short play brilliantly highlights this grim fact. Very thought-provoking and original!

    I have just had the pleasure of recording a role in this play to be produced as an audio, reading it aloud really brings it to life, or death in this case!
    Cindi presents us with an intriguing choice, we get to choose our own cause of death, mostly quick, some brutal, some drawn out. We will all make our own choice. Audiences will have fun watching this poor man try to decide, while pondering their own demise. Great!

    Ah death, that great big mystery that awaits us all. So many times i'll read about people just dying in their sleep and I think, wow, that's the best way to go, and I suppose it is for a lot of us, no time to over think or worry about it.
