THE RELUCTANT MESSIAH

by Andrew Bell

A Brechtian - flavoured piece that takes a humourous look at ambition, capitalism and the nature of religious perceptions. Daryl (Daz) Capital is an ambitious working-class lad whose aspirations to rise to the top give him a ruthless, unstoppable drive. Once at the top, this corporate shark receives a rude shock when a heart attack brings him in contact with God, which leads to a mistake over reincarnation.
