In this fun and outrageous retelling of the Parable of the Drowing Man, Christopher Plumridge presents us with a gleefully obstinate would be Noah who is either far to faithful or far too lazy for his own good. In this debate between the credos "My god will save me" and "God helps those that help themselves" the real winner is the audience.

Plumridge gives us a hilarious modern-day retelling of an Old Testament story we all know, a stubborn character (Samuel) who believes his wisdom exceeds all others (including his wife, the meteorologists, and a virtual slew of other professionals), an unexpected outcome during which Samuel is surprised to meet his maker, and finally a lesson on faith learned. It would be amazing to see this play staged!

A wonderful old joke shown in all its glory. A radio drama that would be fun to listen to and imagine. Christopher Plumridge creates an Old Testament world that teaches us a parable of great importance. Nicely done.
