Walking down the street, one could not imagine that there was a theater there. The street was line with windows full of things not to be written about on this particular site. As with a theatrical productions, I had no idea what I was about to see.
The theater itself looked like an average theater. Nothing fancy, standard run of the mill theater. The seats however, are a different story. They were very stiff and not easily able to pull down. After sitting down, I read the playbill, I still had no idea what I was watching.
I was about to sleep when I heard a loud banging noise. I woke up instantly to bright lights and I saw the guy from X files, center stage. See him, I thought it was going to be more science fictiony. I couldn’t be more wrong.
The story was about a religious experience he had during a hostage situation. He heard the voice of god and went to spread his word. We follow him on his journey to do this. Through the discovery of the picture he had to trying to reconcile with his wife.
However, he is not all Ned Flanders, we find out that he had an affair with his ex-wife’s cousin,the police station scene and we have a scene with a hooker (seriously, that was just funny). But he does try to do what he preaches- just try to good.The play itself had such a realistic message, it was not to be good, but because we are human, we have to try to be good.
If there was one fault in the play, it was that the transitions with the big bangs. Those scared me half to death. The temperature was not that great either, but thats not really in our control, is it?
I feel that plays like this, take things into more humane perspectives. It gives a more humane perspective to the church messages of being good. We should try our best to be good, we can’t always, but effort is important too. They are also so descriptive of the initial situation, I could picture it in my head, and I was sickened by it. All in all, it was an interesting play and I would recommend it.
