A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

About the show

Winner of the 2022 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play, and named one of the best plays of 2022 by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vulture, and Time Out New York, Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) shines a poignant light on parenthood and financial insecurity in this exquisitely hopeful new play. Seated in a small office cubicle, two fathers unexpectedly allow one another into their fragile worlds. Ryan is a straight, white, recently divorced plant worker seeking to buy back a plot of land that once belonged to his family, Keith is black, the gay single caretaker of a fos- ter daughter, and a mortgage broker. 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. Hunter commingles two disparate experiences of marginality with humor, empathy and wrenching honesty.
