“
This play has an openness that allows the actors & production team to BYO specificity -- which seems about right for such a universal & yet unknowable experience. The audio version on the Gather by the Ghostlight podcast does it excellently, & really shows off how poignantly these words bring us through Michael's experience with death, even in the absence of the play's visual elements. & yet there's so much more to explore in different possible stagings or recordings. ”

Gather by the Ghost Light:

“
We produced an audio version of this play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e6). Scott has masterfully written a beautiful moment of someone crossing over. While the personification of Death is often times written as a dark and menacing figure, Scott's version of Death is compassionate to its passenger. The dialogue floats in and out of playfulness and sadness and every word feels honest for the characters. Highly recommended! ”

Through an Ingmar Bergman-like chess game with Death, Sickles makes the idea of losing a chess game or one's life, something to accept and find peace in where there is love to embrace. Lovely. ”
