You May Have 6

Recommended by

  • Philip Middleton Williams: You May Have 6

    Poor Roger. Not only does he wake to find out that he's dead, a booming voice is telling him he has to choose six people to spend eternity with trapped in his apartment. This loser can barely keep his eyes open much less decide his afterlife. With a whiff of Dante and nod to Jean-Paul Sartre, DC Cathro gives us a story that asks the essential questions: what have you got to show for yourself to your best friend, your family, your exes, not to mention the cat? Inspiring, terrifying, truthful.

    "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!
