The God Botherers
by Richard Bean

Directed by David Travis
59E59 Theaters
February - March 2005


"The God Botherers is a small play with a big agenda, the kind of theater that one is grateful to discover... It crackles with terse, funny dialogue that's anchored with deep feeling. Michael Warner's performance is, in fact, one of the greatest pieces of acting you will see this year."
:: TheaterMania

"This extraordinary comedy resonates with sharp political wit." Kola Ogundiran is "a star performer."
:: Show Business Weekly

"The Synapse cast is topnotch and Heidi Armbruster is terrific as Laura. With Synapse the theater is alive and well as a forum for serious and provocative ideas."
:: Curtain up New York

"The God Botherers is a sharp, dark comedy with a smart, funny vision. The cast is excellent. Michael Warner gives a pitch-perfect portrayal of a man who is a shadow of his former self, while Kola Ogundiran captures the madness of the situation.."
:: NYTheatre

"...an unpredictable and irreverent satire... Bean deserves credit for raising serious questions in a Comedy.”
:: The New York Times
