    Through beautifully constructed naturalistic dialogue, Williams delivers an afterlife storyline of two old friends - someone newly "relocated" and the other a veteran of unearthly life. Together, they ponder the life they lived and tease us with glimpses of life beyond death. Poignant, powerful and thought-provoking! i particularly loved Jill's peach monologue.

    What a lovely episode for two crossed-over souls. Not quite "Our Town" but it shouldn't be; the afterlife has to be more interesting than waiting for God(ot). Williams, always straight from the heart, carries on the journeys of two spirits, one experienced, one new at the game, who are still capable of hopes, dreams, and compassion. A very touching scene.
