Overview
A thoughtful and meditative two-hander, Samuel D. Hunter's extraordinary play is both intimate and expansive as it explores themes of parenthood, financial insecurity and empathy.
A Case for the Existence of God unfolds in a cubicle where two seated
people unexpectedly choose to bring one another into their fragile
worlds. Keith, a mortgage broker, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker
seeking to buy a plot of land that belonged to his family many decades
ago, realize they share a "specific kind of sadness." At this desk in
the middle of America, loan talk opens up into a discussion about the
chokehold of financial insecurity and a bond over the precariousness of
parenthood. With humor, empathy and wrenching honesty, Hunter
commingles two lives and deftly bridges disparate experiences of
marginality.
