An American Book of the Dead*
The Game Show†
by Paul Mullin
Cast Size of 13 - Multi-ethnic, non-gender specific
Synopsis: Plucked from the audience, three contestants live and die their way through a myriad of American incarnations as they compete
for the ultimate prize, perfect enlightenment. The entire history of the
United States becomes the playing field, from Jamestown to the World
Trade Center attack and beyond, as they struggle towards their
individual goals. In between lives, the contestants visit the bardo
realms, wacky worlds between death and rebirth where Stonewall Jackson
and Harriet Tubman are husband and wife; and people reincarnate as
corporations. When things seem like they couldn’t get any weirder, as
the contestants start to be born as each other and the understanding
begins to dawn that enlightenment is now here and nowhere; a trillion
light-years and just a blink away.
