A play in two acts
A satirical and humorous look at a man’s life by his Soul as it prepares for death and judgment.
In this play a man awakens to find himself outside his body. He soon realizes that his home is a stage and there is an audience observing. He assumes this to be a dream and decides to try to use this dream as a form of self-therapy. He speaks to the audience as though the audience is a psychologist as he analyses and evaluates his life to them.
Still believing this to be a dream, he is visited by his mother and sisters who have all been dead for many years. Another visitor is the Judge, who is the "Angel of Judgment" and who goes over his life record with him so that he could be “placed.” During his often-comic interview his mother and sisters look on and try to coach his answers.
Afterward they explain that their visit is to release negative karma that his family had between each other, and that they had to wait for him to be near death before they could all meet. When he asks about the audience they explain that souls often come to watch as a kind of entertainment (there is interaction between actors and audience throughout the play.)
Finally his father, who left when he was fifteen, unexpectedly arrives and joins the meeting. The major family interaction of the play is done with the father, who abandoned them in poverty and went on to lead another life. The interaction is alternately serious and comic. It relates to life, as though it were merely an act, which is now over and done with.
In the end, his living wife and children come in and find he has died. They mourn him as he watches. He then leaves with the Judge.
