THE GOD OF HELL by Sam Shepard

Sat, July 24, 2021, 7:30 pm

The Cloverdale Performing Arts Center presents The God of Hell by Sam Shepard. Directed by Athena Gundlach and starring: Christopher Nevin Johnston as Frank, Elizabeth Henry as Emma, Matt Farrell as Haynes and Robert Zelenka as Welch. This show is generously sponsored by David McChesney.

THE STORY (From Dramatists Play Service): An uproarious, brilliantly provocative farce that brings the gifts of a quintessentially American playwright to bear on the current American dilemma. Frank and Emma are a quiet, respectable couple who raise cows on their Wisconsin farm. Soon after they agree to put up Frank’s old friend Haynes, who is on the lam from a secret government project involving plutonium, they’re visited by Welch, an unctuous government bureaucrat from hell. His aggressive patriotism puts Frank, Emma and Haynes on the defensive, transforming a heartland American household into a scene of torture and promoting a radioactive brand of conformity with a dangerously low half life.
