Drama. HEAVEN is George F. Walker's millenium play, in which he intimates the future by having a very hard look at some unanswered questions from the Judeo-Christian-Muslim past which has determined the evolution of western, especially white, male-dominated civilization for the last two thousand years. Five characters play out their coincidental relationships in a very contemporary paradise -- a park on the outskirts of a city. All of them are engaged in the fundmental right of the pursuit of their own happiness. In this comedy of good intentions carried to extremes, each pursuit of personal goals inevitably frustrates the goals of others, pitting these characters irrevocably against each other. The world behaving at its worst is brilliantly reflected by Walker writing at his best. -- Toronto Sun.
