How does the stage manager describe death?
He says that dead people get "weaned away from the earth." They gradually lose interest in the things they had and the people they love.
He says that most people leave the world kicking and screaming, just the way they come into it.
he says that death is a highly personal experience and can't really be accurately described except by the person who is dying, so we never really know what it is like.
He is very matter-of-fact, and says it is just a part of life.
