Greetings!

This sounds like an interesting book! Here are some editing suggestions for you:

The name of the play is "Reunion," written by Olga Sanchez in 1998. This play is about the Day of the Dead, also known as Dia de Los Muertos, which is a Mexican Holiday for remembering family members who have died. The Day of the Dead is celebrated on November first and second.

Ernesto, who was a father, husband and grandfather, has recently died.

But the later has to contain a candle - I'm not sure what this means; "later" is not a noun.

he was able to cross from the land of the living

The Day of the Dead is meant to welcome the dead back which is different from Halloween, because Halloween is a holiday that is just trying to scare people. [That's actually not historically accurate; Halloween was the night before All Saint's Day, and has a rich history, but you don't need to get into that. You could just say it is different and leave it at that. :-)] The play is set in modern times. For people who don't know about Dia de Los Muertos, they learn a Mexican tradition that is celebrated for two nights. The meaning of the play is no one dies unless they are forgotten.

Good job!
