click on the picture to view images from the play Definitive formulation of the nature of death in a society of leisure: A televised game show, where the contestant wins the car he died in. In the Middle Ages death was presented by the Church as the ultimate test of a virtuous life; a test that, if passed, could open the gates of Paradise. |

| Today,
in a society of spectacle and leisure, Paradise is no longer an otherworldly
Utopia, but a firmly terrestrial one, present in the here and now and accessible
via realtime technologies, lottery bonanzas and prize holidays. If 'Paradise can be yours- Now!', what is the risk being run? In all this positivity where, if anywhere, lies the accursed share? The Game Show is a synthesis of all modern day Utopias; if the contestant wins, what will he lose? What will it cost to enter Paradise on Earth?
