Christopher Durang

Published by Dramatists Play Service

1 Male 4 Female

Veronica, already scarred by too many failed relationships, finds the world a frightening place - Skylab, an American space station that came crashing down to earth, in particular, haunts and enrages her

. So she has committed suicide, and is now in what she expected to be heaven but is instead something called the Bardo (the netherworld in Tibetan Buddhism), and the forces there keep trying to make her reincarnate

So far she's thwarted these return visits to earth with a sort of "spiritual otherworldly emergency brake system" she seems to have

She doesn't like being alive, and post-9/11 finds the world even scarier than when she was there

A lovely if strong-willed Indian spirit guide named Maryamma, however, is intent on getting Veronica back to earth so she can learn the lessons her soul is supposed to learn

"This is Durang at the top of his metaphysical, apocalyptic, high-and-pop cultural game ... thoroughly lovable. And funny" ~ NY Newsday
