Thou Shalt Not Consider the 10 Commandments a Personal Challenge.When David’s religious father is injured in sudden, shocking circumstances, he feels the faith of a good man is being tested, and decides to test God in return by breaking the ten commandments.
“The Commandments” by Sean Guy is a brand-new play written with the proud support of Arts NT, and dramaturgical support of celebrated playwright Albert Belz. It is an exploration of faith in the 21st century; what it means to believe in something greater than yourself even when you struggle with religion, and how fellowship can help us through the most difficult circumstances.
At times darkly funny, this story also touches on grief, family, acceptance, friendship, and love, inspired by some of Sean’s own experiences growing up in various church systems, and the long-term benefits – and questions – and sometimes concerns – that have lingered.
We invite you to join us for this rehearsed play reading as part of Sean’s official Wet Season Residency, as we share this experimental and thought-provoking new work for the first time.
