HAND to GOD-I Swear, See this Miraculous Play

The sensational play HAND to GOD at the Booth Theater is unlike anything I have ever experienced in the theater.   Playwright Robert Askins won the Obie ('14) for his play which has moved to the Great White Way.  Perhaps you're expecting this to be a religious/philosophical play.  And you would be right and you would also be wrong. This play touches on just about everything under the sun, and the bathroom sink.  This play that causes you to think.  It also makes you gasp, laugh and cringe.  HAND to GOD rewrote the rules for comprising a compelling drama.  The story evolves around Jason, a shy, troubled teen who communicates through his omnipresent, ulter ego hand puppet, Tyrone.  Jason's mother Margery heads a teen puppetry church group with Jason along with Jessica & Timothy.  Margery may head the class but she's not in control. Timothy makes lewd & hostile comments towards Margery, Jason & Jessica.  Pastor Greg oversees the flock of this chuch.  He's a schemer aiming to know Margery in the biblical sense.  Margery is a manic screamer & sex offender.  However, the heart & soul of this compelling & entertaining play is Jason.  He is seen as vulnerable, sympathetic and then vicious & deranged.  Or, you may believe he's possessed by the devil and needs an exorcism.  Expext to be perturbed, disturbed - anything other than inured to the troubling events in this brilliant play.  The acting from the ensemble cast is celestial.  Steven Boyer who plays Jason/Tyrone is so incredible in his duo role it creates doubt in what to believe.  You only have yourself to blame if you don't choose to attend this play 1st hand.
