What if you're faced with possibly the last choice you'll ever make?

And that choice is a machine that will keep you happy for the rest of your life?

Dave has hit bottom. Jobless and alone, he's in a mandatory meeting with Stoddard, a government employee who's skilled at getting people to sign "The Bliss Option." Multitudes - the poor, the ill, the unemployed - have entered The Bliss. But Dave resists. Will Stoddard persuade him to sign? Will he persuade her that she's selling suicide? Or will something else happen in this room?

(The show runs about 75 minutes without intermission.)
