A Case for the Existence of God - Paperback

by Samuel Hunter (Author)

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.
