Harry Segall’s play - HEAVEN CAN WAIT - enchants audiences with its unique blend of fantasy, humour, and heart. It tells the story of Joe Pendleton, a boxer whose accidental death due to a celestial clerical error sets him on a journey through the afterlife. Guided by the poised and otherworldly Mr. Jordan, Joe is given the chance to return to Earth in another body to fulfill his destiny. Of course, Joe Pendleton’s ‘spiritual journey’ will become more complicated, as he finds himself caught up in murder – one where he is the victim, as his disembodied spirit is now placed into the body of wealthy banker, Mr. Farnsworth. This complication drives the plot into one of intrigue and eventually romance, where he falls in love with Bette. Joe will find himself at a crossroads, asking himself the deeper questions of what is truly important and discovering that the twists and turns of fate have allowed him with second chances, in more ways than one.
