Divine Drafts: A Creation Farce
|
Genre: Theological Comedy/Farce
Word Count: Approx. 800 Published: The God Who Breaks: Old Testament Plays of Rebellion and Despair (2025) Synopsis: In the celestial bureaucracy of heaven, an impatient and decidedly un-divine God presides over a lackluster team of archangels pitching ideas for a new creation project. Frustrated by proposals involving multiverses and sentient nebulae, God seizes upon a lazy shortcut: claiming credit for an already-existing, chaotic planet called Earth and its hapless inhabitants. The play follows the absurd corporate machinations and divine egos involved in launching this cosmic con, satirizing creation myths, office politics, and the very notion of divine authority. Meanwhile, back on Earth, a wild-bearded prophet sees an opportunity to leverage the celestial chaos for his own ends. This sharp-witted farce explores what happens when omnipotence meets incompetence and faith collides with a heist mentality. |
