Theatre Review: "The Christians" - a mature and elusive play about faith
THE GUARDIANS
By Alexis Soloski
NEW YORK---Whether or not you believe in God, you should believe in Lucas Hnath. Hnath is a youngish playwright with an interest in form, argument and the stories we tell in order to consolidate our lives and beliefs. At The Christians, you enter the Playwrights Horizons main stage to a room transformed into a luxurious, queasily tasteful megachurch – lots of polished wood, cultivated greenery and recessed lighting. Mature plays about faith aren’t typical. [link]
