THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS THE TORONTO PREMIERE OF:
A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
By Samuel D. Hunter
Directed by Ted Dykstra
A Case for the Existence of God unfolds in a cubicle where two seated people unexpectedly choose to bring one another into their fragile worlds. Keith, a mortgage broker, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker seeking to buy a plot of land that belonged to his family many decades ago, realize they share a "specific kind of sadness." At this desk in the middle of America, loan talk opens up into a discussion about the chokehold of financial insecurity and a bond over the precariousness of single fatherhood. With humor, empathy and wrenching honesty, Hunter commingles two lives and deftly bridges disparate experiences of marginality.
Winner 2022 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Best Play
“[A] must-see heartbreaker of a play.”
– Jesse Green, The New York Times
Critic’s Pick! “Heartbreaking... though A Case makes the connection between personal and societal calamity more explicit than ever – can it be just an accident that it’s set in Twin Falls? – it may also be the purest example yet of Hunter’s approach to playwriting as an experiment in empathy.”
– The New York Times
“Phenomenal. Transcendent. An instant classic.”
– Theatrely
