A Case For The Existence Of God.
Pacific Theatre presents A Case For The Existence Of God from May 16 to June 9
PACIFIC THEATRE IS bringing writer Samuel D. Hunter’s critically acclaimed play A Case For The Existence Of God to its stage from May 16 to June 9.
Directed by Pacific Theatre’s artistic director Kaitlin Williams, the play centres on two young fathers: one is a mortgage broker, the other a plant worker desperate to buy a piece of land. They meet in a cubicle to discuss a loan and, despite their differences, they share similar struggles with adulthood, finding meaning in life, and belonging.
Hunter—best-known for penning the Drama Desk Award-winning The Whale, which was turned into the recent Brendan Fraser movie—has a long tradition of exploring the connection between personal and societal calamity. In this case, the playwright explores not just the question in the title, but hope, resilience, parenthood, financial insecurity, and empathy. The New York Times has called A Case For The Existence Of God a “must-see heartbreaker”.
Starring are actors Rob Salvador, who previously acted in Best of Enemies and Jesus Hopped the A Train, and Kwesi Ameyaw, of The Mountaintop.
