During a mission trip to Bangkok, the four members of a Korean Christian girls' youth group discover that their revered pastor has hidden a camera in their hotel bathroom.

"...Once in a while, you see a play that is so bad you ask yourself if you should even review it. I decided "yes" as my readers need to be encouraged to spend their theatre dollars on another play."

"...MAN OF GOD is a button pusher. So, be prepared. (I myself was practically hysterical by the end of the play.) The script is agile. And although extremely funny, even the inventive lighter moments pull no punches. There's no hiding anything about these girls or their situation and definitely not the man who has absolutely abused them."

"...These are very smart girls, archetypes almost, and while the ending may be disappointing at first for the audience, it is necessary to underscore the powerlessness and fear most abused people experience. (Albert Park as the Pastor turning from the milk of human kindness to scarier than shit sure helps.) Give the experience time to settle in, as Moench covers a lot of bases in 90 minutes. The saddest part never occurs during the show, but after, when we realize that there is a great possibility that these teenagers won't be believed. And if they are, what will that do to their lives? What do you think will happen to the characters after the curtain falls?"

"...Man of God is directed by Maggie Burrows (who also directed Trayf at the Geffen just a few months ago). She sees to it that this play moves along at a snappy, well-choreographed pace. When you add excellent acting to the mix, you can't help but have a positive response to the production."

"...The Geffen Playhouse's production of "Man of God," running until June 19, follows four girls on their Christian mission trip to Bangkok, Thailand, as they discover a camera hidden in the bathroom of their hotel. Through simple but effective staging, intentional dialogue and superb acting, "Man of God" sheds light on sexual assault and the female experience in an understandable yet subtle way."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...Director Maggie Burrows and her cast and production team expertly visualize Moench's insightful script (originally produced at East West Players), from Lap Chi Chu's crafty lighting to Se Oh's realistic set - with a window revealing the bathroom - to Jonathan Snipes' sinister sound work and original music to Thomas Isao Morinaka's adroit fight choreography - with Chan and Yoo doubling as fight captains. The rapport of Yow, Chen, Galbraith, and Li is convincing as bickering and vulnerable teenagers on the cusp of adulthood: They stand out together as well as in their individual and group encounters with the subtle Park."
