I have a lot of appreciation for this play's ability to lightheartedly - yet scathingly - challenge the hierarchical institutions of Judeo-Christian religion and the way those same hierarchies worm their way into the foundations of the rest of our society. Jovanovich gives you a piece of herself with her humored take on the socio-political questions we find ourselves wrestling with and sparring over every day in the current age, and yet there is no question that the themes would not be out of place in just about any era throughout human history.

Exploring what our purpose is in life/what we're put in this world to do, can be a weighty challenge for any writer, but Jovanovich writes about this with such joy, buoyancy, lightness, and humor. Jacqueline's faith and optimism in humanity---and the system of democracy---is heartening when it's easier to despair in the current political moment we live in on Earth. The relationship between gospel writer Matthew and Jacqueline in the library, as well as the love story between Ur and Jerah, are the heart & soul of the play.

Very funny play dealing with lots of big topics in very intelligent ways. This play was a part of the Echo's inaugural National Young Playwrights in residence program.
