Summary
Les, an average sort of middle-aged citizen, lands in a New York gymnasium where a sexy young woman, Marge, tries to sell him a course that will tone up his spiritual muscles. But Les is himself a salesman and thinks he has better ideas about how to push a high-priced product like God.

"An expert piece of comic writing.... A tightly packed duologue rings the changes on three aspects of American conformity-- salesmanship, evangelism, and physical culture. All are concerned ... with salvation-- so what is more natural than to fuse them together? Mr. Bermel does so with the all too plausible invention of a New York spiritual gymnasium.... Taut, witty, and without a single dead line.... Extracts its comedy as much from physical action as from dialogue." - London Times
