We Beseech Thee

Recommended by

  • Michael C. O'Day: We Beseech Thee

    So, the whole world's falling apart, but at least when we commiserate with our friends we know we're on the same page and praying for the same miraculous deliverance, right? Well, "We Beseech Thee" might disabuse you of that notion, as two women inadvertently unleash a Biblical plague upon the land (or at least a cruise ship) courtesy of a most unlikely (to put it mildly) Biblical messenger. Mordantly hilarious gonzo fun.

    "We Beseech Thee" is incredibly fun, poignant, and startlingly accurate to our times (including the dead-but-not-dead spirits coming back to haunt us) all at the once. With sharp dialogue that feels easy yet oozing with humor, this is an absolute joy for anyone to perform and/or see performed.

    WWJD? I have no idea. But I know what LDF would do: give us a completely bonkers satire so we can enjoy some laughs while the world goes to pieces around us. And I’m so grateful for opportunities such as this to enjoy her unique brand of humor. Amen.
