For Vicky

I think there is a multiple level thing about why people are partners with each other that you have set up very nicely. I think that Archie and Hank are partners because they could have avoided their deaths. Hank with a little bit more certainty. Also, each think that the other was stupid for their death and I think in turn they need to realize that their death wasn't stupid and there was some reason that they died. I think in terms of why today, you could incorporate something about seeing Katie and Greg. Maybe Katie and Greg remind them of themselves and then they start talking about the past and question why they never talked about their deaths before. Maybe, they haven't had any recruits in a really really long time because Buddha was starting to give up on them (or whoever is their supervisor) and then he decided to just give them their jobs back because they weren't making any process.

I think that Katie and Greg are together because they both need the other to be with them in Heaven. Katie really needs her brother to be with her in heaven, and she gets someone who in a sense took himself out of his miserable life. She understand that he loved his daughter. Meanwhile, Greg needs someone who is going to understand that he didn't want to kill his daughter and he didn't mean to put her in danger at all. Katie also has to help Greg to talk about what happened since three years pass until he meets Katie. Maybe the heavenly beings or whoever decides who are partners, don't know who will be partnered with whom until both of them have died and they really are drawn to each other. Maybe the first person to die is always around the other person when they die? Also why does Katie even follow Greg in the first place? Is she attracted to him? Does she think he might lead her to her brother? I was a little unclear about that, after reading it a second time.

I really really like your play Vicky. It makes me think a lot which is something I love the most about plays.
