Description Ray's Tempest was workshopped at this year's National Playwrights' Conference. It's a big, sprawling play loosely inspired by the life of Raymond Carver. The inverse of Death of a Salesman, it tells the story of Ray Brink, a down and out advertising salesman who's told his "heart's rotted"and he's only got a few weeks to live. This is just the sales pitch he needs to achieve the success that's always eluded him. What's harder is finding the courage to confront his damaged past.
