An Act Of God
by David Javerbaum


Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers generally find the play to be hilarious and thought-provoking, appreciating its irreverent take on religion and the concept of God. Many enjoy the performances, particularly by Sean Hayes, and the clever writing that provokes laughter while exploring deeper themes. However, there are some criticisms regarding its short duration and varying humor levels throughout.
Synopsis
THE STORY: The One with the first and last word on everything has finally arrived to set the record straight.
After many millennia, and in just 90 minutes, God (assisted by His devoted angels) answers some of the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since Creation.
Press Reviews
"Clever and even refreshingly positive, insisting on the separation of church and state and encouraging us to believe in ourselves, not some elderly white guy in the sky."
— Time Out New York
"While still funny, [An Act of God is] darker and potentially more theologically challenging than mere spoofs of Bible stories."
— New York Magazine
