Reward and Punishment
The rewards of heaven - or the punishment of hell
The story comes from Taking Flight: A Book of Story Meditations (1988) by the Jesuit priest and psychoanalyst Anthony de Mello.
My thanks to Bob Kanegis of the Storytell listserv for recommending this store of stories.
The video clips here are all amateur quality, shot in various theatres or, as here, in my home studio.
Their intention is just to show the range of my storytelling and give a flavour of a live performance.
