But she heard nothing from the other side of the phone. She actually looked gorgeous from the rear-view mirror with her delicate make-up. After the phone had been hanged up, she again saw her image of face. Was this mistaken or not for her tired eyes seemed not to resemble herself. She again tried to look carefully from the screen of her phone. A moment happened as she hardly recognized herself in her blurred eyesi

One Day with Death opens to cunningly let the paper perform. Death, a paper-made character personified as the god of death, is the soul of figure to whom we easily get much close. As the audiences are watching the play, they are also watching the papers in display, for the paper unmasks what we think of the story can be made in this play.

In the play, however, the paper becomes functional as it challenges the audiences' imaginations.
