Outward Bound is a play by Sutton Vane Jr (1888-1963)[1].
Contents
The original text
A play dealing in semi-symbolic fashion with the hereafter and the burden of personal guilt and offers a presentation of the world after death as a ship carrying souls from the country of the living to heaven's custom-house. As he could not find a producer to take on this unusual combination of fantasy and drama, Vane mounted his own production, which turned out an immense success. It was the hit of the 1923 London season and did equally well at the Ritz Theatre on Broadway in 1924.
