This is a story that explores the awesome mystery of being. An
enigmatic vessel of light arrives on Earth from the depths of
space, revealing nothing of its occupants or purpose. It waits, a
powerful symbol of humanity's weakness. Joseph Williams, a priest,
devastated by the loss of a great love, confused by powerful
mystical experiences and tormented by unanswered questions as to
the meaning of his life, is pulled out of obscurity into a strange
relationship with the vessel. Plunged into a great adventure, he is
forced to go into hiding from worried governments. Help comes from
an unlikely alliance of a Wiccan wise woman, a bishop and a
mysterious Greek magician. Given sanctuary by an ancient esoteric
sect, glimpses emerge of what might be happening. But it is only in
his final, climactic encounter with the vessel of light that
understanding comes. In finding answers to the riddles of his own
life, he is confronted with the greatest questions of existence and
forced to make a fundamental choice as to the future.
Pacific Underground's groundbreaking play Fresh Off the Boat,
written by Oscar Kightley and Simon Small, which examines the
tragi-comic trials and tribulations of an immigrant family and
their attempts to make sense of their new home -- Samoan life in
the Big Smoke -- has been published at long last.
