Another Beautiful Story
Elizabeth Meriwether
THE STORY: A stage manager, headset and prompt book at hand, brings the house lights to half, then dark, and cues the creation of the world.
Throughout the play, she's in control of everything.
In other words, she's either God, or she thinks she is
"Line by line, Mr. Rudnick may be the funniest writer for the stage in the United States today…One-liners, epigrams, withering put-downs and flashing repartee: These are the candles that Mr. Rudnick lights instead of cursing the darkness, although he does a lot of cursing, too…a testament to the virtues of laughing…and in laughter, there is something like the memory of Eden.” —The New York Times. “Funny it is…consistently, rapaciously, deliriously…easily the funniest play in town.” —Variety. ”…there is no one writing for the stage today who is capable of more acid quips or hilarious rejoinders than Rudnick…Even if there's a part of you that will be chagrined by this play's uncertain attitude toward religious beliefs, you will find yourself laughing uncontrollably throughout the evening."
— New York Daily News
