AUTHORS NOTE

The magic in this play is the twist at the beginning of Act 1 Scene 1 when the audience is let into the secret that the man they have been watching on stage is in fact dead and cannot be seen or heard by those around him. The story then develops into an emotional rollercoaster of laughter and tears as the deceased Terry desperately tries to help his widow Gill out of a difficult situation. This play has been described as a gift for performers and audiences alike.
