Reviews
  • “Critics' Pick. THE FIRST IMPORTANT NEW PLAY OF THE FALL SEASON. Ingeniously staged by Les Waters, this terrific play about the mystery of faith by Lucas Hnath — one of the freshest playwriting voices to emerge in the past five years — is MESMERIZING.”

    — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
  • “DEEPLY AFFECTING. EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING. A white-knuckled drama about a theological battle. This is a production we can believe in.”

    — Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Post

  • “A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN with a chorus whose voices blend in harmonies as bright as their choir robes!”

    — Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News
  • “EXTRAORDINARY! Lucas Hnath dares us to see anti-religious prejudice as just another form of faith.”

    — Jesse Green, New York magazine
