You May Have 6

Recommended by

  • Nora Louise Syran: You May Have 6

    "You May Have 6" is about a man facing the consequences of his actions -or lack of them- in his lifetime, in his afterlife. He is trapped in a half-life of his own choosing with 6 lives who "don’t revolve around HIM." It's a little like Dickens' Scrooge for this century. There's a sense of epiphany... but it's open ended enough to leave an audience with plenty to talk about. Bravo. A Divine Comedy.

    So excited to discover that YOU MAY HAVE 6 will receive its world premiere this year! And no surprise since this is a deliciously dark and superbly funny comedy about a self-absorbed man forced to make amends in the afterlife. I mean what's the point...? but that IS the point. There's a sucker dies every minute. Exceptional dialogue, fully realized highly comedic characters, and some fantastic otherworldly world building. This play is hella good!

    They say that good stories arise when you visit trouble upon your characters. In DC Cathro's after-life doorslammer, "You May Have 6," Roger quickly has trouble up to his chest, as he attempts to navigate his compromised relationships from his previous life and finds obstacles at every turn. What that means for audiences and readers alike is a evening of vicarious awkwardness, inventive world building, and insightful commentary on the human experience. An excellent single setting play!
