God: A Play

By Thomas Alexander

When the named partner of a small law firm dies leaving a large debt, the remaining misfits of the firm - a budding lawyer, wet behind the ears; a drunk, barred in several states; and a young law student who has failed the bar exam a dozen times - are forced to take on just about any client available, including a litigious soccer-mom who would like to sue God for the death of her husband, hit by a lightning bolt on the 15th hole of a municipal golf course. Hoping to make enough money to stay afloat, the firm decides to sue 'big religion' for misrepresentation. The case is complicated, however, when the opposition hire a former member of the firm and the love interest of the young lawyer to represent them, and then further complicated when an indigent with no background and an uncanny knack of knowing everyone's background enters the courtroom claiming to be God. Batting back and fore between the courtroom and the personal lives of the lawyers, God is a fast paced courtroom comedic drama that uses original staging and non-linear storytelling to provide a lighthearted yet complex social drama.
