This play is so beautifully written and impactful. People have been writing about Jesus for centuries, but very few have been capable of writing a compelling play out of it. Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend is one of those people. The relationships between each of these characters is given fresh life and gives plenty of meat for actors to explore. This play feels reminiscent of Lucas Hnath's "A Doll's House Part 2" in this way. A wonderful and thought-provoking piece to consider for future productions.

I saw this play at Live Arts in Charlottesville, and this play was touchingly bittersweet. It's a big shoe to put on, writing a play about Jesus from a whole new lens. I especially appreciated the attention to detail. Often stories of Jesus derail quickly into satire or remain so close to the cuff that it screams bad megachurch attempt at theater. But this play did neither: it respected the story of Jesus while handling it with beautiful truth. 5 stars.

There are plays that make me want to be a better writer. Then there are those that make me want to quit writing all together. This one is both for me. Genuine genius at work here. Definitely shining a light on paths to be taken as a writer, but also a big sign that I should stop writing because Lisa’s got the writing thing covered. This is a moving, funny, thought provoking play that puts family dynamics and the call to revolution under the lens of one of the best known story in the world.
