I adore this play. Several other recommenders have noted it's constructed like a symphony, and I have to agree: the unique, classical music-esque structure to this piece heightens its impact. Having grown up very religious myself and coming of age in college trying to figure out where I end and the rest of the world and my own religion conviction begins, I deeply resonate with David's arc through the piece. His closing monologue is beautiful. Rinkel has drawn very human characters that manage to also get at larger, abstract points about humanity and religious identity. Excellent work!
