CALIFORNIA --- Playwright Evan Smith confronts the scourge of religious extremism head-on in “The Savannah Disputation,” now at the Colony. Smith’s well-researched and frequently uproarious comedy seems deceptively even-handed at first. But at play’s end, Smith smacks you upside the head with the distinctly un-Christian beliefs of radical fundamentalism. While Smith’s exegesis of certain Biblical contradictions is surprisingly sophisticated, his play succeeds primarily as a juicy vehicle for four actors. [link]
