Unreliable Narrator presents "Ultimate Things"

Unreliable Narrator presents Ultimate Things: two darkly comic one-act plays about religion, atheism, and the stuff people do with both. Intrigued by all humanity and suspicious of all dogma, Ultimate Things twists our fears and passions in a crucible of human comedy. It all happens July 1-9 at Boston Playwrights' Theatre. Purchase your tickets here and now: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/960516 Each performance comprises these two one-act plays by Carl Danielson: Jesusness: Jesus Christ returns and the end of the world is at hand!--or so they claim. The head teacher at a small Christian school believes it's an anti-Christ. Can he sort truth from falsehood, and what will he do if he can't? As pundits and politicians weigh in and individual consciences are tested, this Apocalypse comedy asks the question: how can you tell if it's the Apocalypse anyway? Directed by Carl Danielson. Hellancholy: An atheist TV producer at the top of her game finds herself tormented by visions of hell every time she tries to write new episodes. Shaking this infernal writers' block requires the comfort of old friends, controlled substances, and Judd Apatow parties. Or she could just make a deal with God, who keeps yelling at her from across the room. An absurdist portrait of a dynamic character's psyche, Hellancholy chronicles how deep religious fears from childhood go. Directed by Amy Bennett-Zendzian. Featuring Nick Bennett-Zendzian, Eva Bilick, Lucas Commons-Miller, Kitty Drexel, Cari Keebaugh, Caroline Keeler, Tom Russell, Nick Stevens, and Kimberly Mae Waller. Performances: Friday July 1 8 PM Saturday July 2 8 PM Sunday July 3 3 PM Thursday July 7 8 PM Friday July 8 8 PM Saturday July 9 8 PM
