    A great twist on the "play chess with Death" theme. While there are lots of fun and funny moments in this play, it's the tenderness at the end that is the real surprise. What starts out as a comic premise turns into a gentle drama. What a lovely play.

    While Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey will always hold a special place in my heart as far as Seventh Seal homages go, those looking for more cerebral fare that treats the subject of death with a touch of solemnity without drowning in its own gloom will be delighted by Scott Sickles' witty and comforting vision on what happens in the time between this world and whatever lies beyond.

    A beautiful and haunting piece that addresses death in a human and accessible way. It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it.
