Synopsis

In this delicious comedy, a man apparently witnesses the immediate aftermath of his own death. He's in a hospital, and as none of his relatives can see or hear him, he decides he must be dead. Another patient comes in and as they both see and hear each other, they decide that both of them must be dead. What the other people say and do is not what either of the men expected under the circumstances. It isn't what the audience will expect either. We invite you to enjoy this unexpected show and its especially unexpected ending.

Customer Reviews

We loved this play. Pat Cook writes very funny material for students. Students had the opportunity to not only try out stock characters but play with varied emotions.

Sharie Miller, Devine ISD, Devine, Texas

I loved it! I especially love word play and this was full of it ...

Marcianne Hansen, Luxemburg-Casco High School, Luxemburg, Wis.

Rest in Peace was a great success for us. It was easy to rehearse and it was a real crowd pleaser. Our most successful comedy so far!

Penny Leonhardt, Floresville MTH Players, Floresville, Texas

It is a wonderful play for middle schoolers. They understand the themes, yet it challenges them to reach new acting heights. Beautifully written.

Kim Hubbard, Argyle Middle School, Argyle, Texas
