Hath Taken Away is remarkable for its compassionate treatment of those with faith. Yet Jacob does not shy away from the doubts that trail and confound religious people -- in fact, he gives age-old questions of freewill and belief a fresh dynamic, by drawing a makeshift family into a conflict over one of our most debated issues. This play is a beautiful exploration of individuals struggling to make the right choice. Is there any more worthy story in theatre?
