Salant effectively utilizes the Sodom and Gomorrah story to both effectively condemn the horrifying acts perpetrated against Jews, members of the LGBTQ community, and other targeted groups, while also exploring the role misguided, hypocritical, and virulent righteousness can have in the oppression of marginalized folks. Salant mixes bold theatricality, dark humor, and several potent and gutting moments of tragedy. His use of some purposefully alienating theatrical conceits allows him to explore dark and disturbing material with enough of a distance to make his affecting points. I'd be interested in seeing the continued journey of this play!

This horrifying, funny, and horrifyingly funny play is a bold work from a bold playwright. Izzy Salant makes audacious choices and takes enormous risks by resetting the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in a Nazi concentration camp, choices and risks that – even if they don't always pay off – are breathtaking just for the sheer creativity, passion, and drive with which he's informed this play. I'd love to see this piece on its feet; I'm sure it would be as riveting to see as it was to read.
