When one approaches retirement it is quite natural to be struck by a sense of nostalgia, to think of your legacy and what you leave behind. Will your remembrances be fond ones, or will they be tinged with regrets. In this virtuoso comedic two-hander Steven G Martin imagines a God ready to walk away from His creation and explore new avenues of experience. One must only hope that he leaves his watch in the hands of one of his better angels.

I admire a play that starts as a prompt and ends in something as grand as trying to dramatize the unknowable mind of God. The interplay between God and the Angel is thoughtful and honest, as is the emotional core of the piece. A lovely piece of work, and a truly impressive extrapolation of “Feeling restless without a clear desire.” Never underestimate where a playwright's mind might go.

"Awesome Like Crinkle Cut Fries" is a delightfully inventive and touching comedy that imagines God not as a distant judge, but as a weary creator wrestling with purpose, change, and the burden of endless responsibility. Steven G. Martin balances sharp wit, philosophical reflection, and genuine warmth, creating a play that is both thought-provoking and deeply human in its vision of the divine. The result is funny, intelligent, and quietly uplifting.
