Forgive Thyself

Recommended by

  • Nora Louise Syran: Forgive Thyself

    A two-hander with whiskey--which is a good thing as Father Dan is going to need it. There's a lot to mull over in this piece. What if we really are living in a clockwork universe we share with our Creator? It's simple in terms of staging but will definitely leave an audience with something to think about.

    I enjoyed this playful and thought provoking short play. It has many interesting thoughts on religion and our preconceived ideas. The impressive (and deep at times) dialogue flows very naturally (almost as if divine inspiration was actually involved?!) and is interspersed with humour. I could also see this making a nice (no doubt award winning) film.

  • Morey Norkin: Forgive Thyself

    In this clever, thoughtful two-hander, John Busser addresses issues of faith and our relationship to our fellow humans. I particularly liked the analogy of life being a cab we all share and we all pay the fare. With humor and compassion, Busser gives us permission to think about and discuss these often volatile topics in a kind and considerate manner. Divine.
