Directions
Anton is lonely and pissed off. Every day is the same. Right-wing news. Beer. Violence. Repeat. He decides the only way out is to kill himself, but instead he wakes up in Purgatory. Confronted by the omniscient Id, his neglectful mother, and sundowning grandfather, Anton is forced to reckon with himself and the people who made him who he is. If he wants to escape this place and fade into sweet oblivion, he’s going to have to face the purgatory he’s created for himself.
“Anton Goes to Heaven (?)” is an absurd, vulgar and violent romp through the afterlife. The only way out is through.
