Halston's Amitha - A Play in Two Acts

---

"A stagnation of the mind is the worst hell there is…and [in this world] even the battles of his own soul are revealed to him in the shapes of those he’s known during his lifetime...In the many shapes of those, he’s known during his lifetime. What’s your story?" - CLAUDIA

What happens after we leave this physical world? And what is that experience based on? Do we return to pure consciousness? Do we continue to evolve? Are we creating our own experience here as well as there?

Halston, a naïve yet courageous twenty-something-year-old man, finds himself thrown into a place beyond the physical world where people go and wait for some unknown end. Suddenly the appearance of a box, with four sides cut out, sitting atop someone's head has a new meaning. 

It means freedom...a time for quiet surrender...or else.

Halston is seemly trapped here, and not by his own will. With Claudia, a recently made friend yet a familiar soul, by his side, Halston is forced to recall a time in his life when happiness had lived and suddenly ceased to exist. He is shown that the person he shared that life experience with was his college girlfriend and first wife, Amitha.

However, knowing that he's died, Halston's one desire is to be reunited with who he has known for so long as his true love, his second wife, the late Emma. But, in this place where he finds himself, Emma is nowhere to be seen and unknown. Trapped in this..."wait room"...surrounded by an eclectic group of new friends, he learns that his decision to end his first marriage had devastated Amitha so deeply that she had ended her life by suicide and by doing so, threw them both into a perpetual holding place of searing emotion.

It is up to Halston to find a way to move them both beyond this tragedy if he is to see Emma again. He must see the lessons he still has to learn. What is it that Amitha's soul has laid out for him...or is it Amitha's plan at all? 

Halston must take a chance and face the products that his fears have manifested in order to move past this "wait room."

While Halston walks his journey, Amitha's soul has been on its own journey and the

Amitha we've gotten to know, Halston's Amitha, proves to be an entity made manifest by Halston....a fragment of himself still very much a part of his life's lesson for the evolution of his soul as are all the entities present in the "wait room."
