A Case for the Existence of God Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...Kierkegaard shows up late in Samuel D. Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God, now at Rogue Machine, delivered almost as a throwaway line by a mortgage broker named Keith. Proof of God, he says, isn’t something you build. It’s something you notice once you already believe. Hunter tucks his thesis inside that line about faith, then spends ninety minutes testing whether it applies equally well to two broke, terrified men in a beige cubicle in Twin Falls, Idaho."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...Samuel D. Hunter sets many of his plays in rural Idaho where he was raised. Call him the James Joyce of the American heartland. Just as Joyce derived inspiration from his native Dublin, Hunter, who now lives in New York, is an insightful émigré whose comical, touching work exploits the insularities and peculiarities of his former fellow Idahoans, whom he left behind for a more expansive urban context."
Larchmont Buzz- Highly Recommended
"...Human nature belies a tendency to search for meaning. Coincidences might be kismet, good fortune attributed to divine Providence. In direst circumstances, we might shake a fist at the sky and wonder, “Why, God, why?” Yet, in Samuel D. Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God, currently onstage at Rogue Machine Theatre, the concept of “God” is never formally invoked. The resulting argument is all the more convincing."
