Willy Loman, an aging and troubled salesman from Brooklyn, finally decides to take his own life by driving his vehicle “at a dangerously rapid pace.” While King Lear rants and raves at another terrible storm, Willy Loman’s car slams into a tree by King Lear’s tattered home in Purgatory. The salesman and King become housemates and fast friends. Together, they examine the harsh realities of their lives in this strange dwelling between Heaven and Hell. Lear has frequent and upsetting delusions of his Earthly life, while Loman watches the serious damage he caused his family in life, and after his death. When Willy witnesses the dangerous and catastrophic choices Linda and Happy are about to make, he and Lear desperately try to intervene from Purgatory.
