This piece was so fascinating. I always love when works personify death—in this case, through the lens of bureaucracy. The agent (D.E.A.T.H) also has a great sarcastic sense of humor which kept the piece light, in what would otherwise be a dark look at the afterlife, creating a great balance between the hard theme of death and the magical realism of an afterlife agent. The play questions the validity of love, how well we actually know someone, and if death is really final. It is done expertly through this moving piece.
