This hell is not quite the hell imagined by Virgil or Dante, but in Mr. Blessing's hell, a hell resembling New York City, Mr. Madoff encounters many of hell's inhabitants with scorecards just like his and the unimaginable special punishments he has earned."
A User's Guide to Hell, featuring Bernard Madoff is produced by Project Y Theatre Company.
Blesssing's other plays include When We Go Upon the Sea, A Body of Water, Going to St. Ives, Thief River, Cobb, Chesapeake, Eleemosynary and Down the Road.
