“ A wonderful little "slice of death," as it were. Who knew what started with a sly Bergman homage could end up being a moving and touching reflection on life and what may come after it. As I read through the play, I was drawn in by the conversation between the two characters to the point where all thoughts of a "gimmick" had ceased, and I waited breathlessly for what would have usually been a foregone resolution. An excellent ten minute play! ”

“ There's nothing scarier than the unknown. In this heartwarming, surprisingly funny short, Scott Sickles helps us experience it for ourselves. Its universality makes it the perfect, highly theatrical fodder for a medium that is all about communion.

While the piece doesn't definitively answer any lurking universal questions, it provides enough possibilities to take a lot of the fear out of one of life's biggest transitions. I'm a huge fan of the many laugh lines throughout the piece, which always seem to hit at just the right moment. Most important of all, this play is kind—a challenging topic handled beautifully! ”

“ Death seems like an okay dude under the steady hand of SCOTT SICKLES. This warm and touching play about the final moments of life is a true gift, and the part the unseen, but certainly felt , part LOVE plays is absolutely beautiful. Everyone should experience a moment so perfect. ”

“ It takes a skilled writer to write about such a subject, our own mortality in this case, and treat it with respect, sensitivity but also gentle humour. I love this interaction between Michael and the somewhat aloof Death. Their chess games play out in the strangest strategic way, as Michael is seemingly buying himself more time. The ending is truly moving too. A big question is posed; what exactly does oblivion feel like, and should we care? I very much enjoyed this short play, in fact I want to produce it! ”
