God's Work
Devised & Performed by Albany Park Theater Project
Premiere performances: March 10 - May 7, 2006
"May just be the most devastating, horrific and brutally honest evocation of both child abuse and the extremes of fundamentalist thought ever presented on a stage"
Chicago Sun-Times
A play about one girl, her ten brothers and sisters, her four parents, and her two different lives. A play about reciting from the Bible and rocking in the basement, coming forth and confessing sins and killing bees and keeping the list, the sound of peeling potatoes and the weight of perpetual pregnancy, the taste of forbidden cupcakes and the sparkle of magical lint, walking first steps and washing away filth. A play about the families we construct in place of the ones we're born into. A play about how our capacity for imagination and resilience is truly evidence of God's work.
