Angels and Whiskey

I liked the acting of the Devil far more than the actual play. There was no particular plot. It was difficult for me to understand the central ideas of this play. I disliked the sexual terms used a number of times, though the audience seemed to appreciate them. I did not like the direct slurs against Ayn Rand, with no reasons given for saying that she was "crazy."I appreciated that the author, Joshua, gave me a free ticket.... full review

Joshua Thomas makes for polite, intriguing, insecure & sympathetic Satan, in a portrayal that is totally original. He has a great presence on-stage. And the writing gave me a lot to think about, mirroring aspects of the off-kilter world we all live in. I'd like to read this play, there is a lot to chew on. ... full review

John finds himself trapped in a heaven of his own creation. For him, the afterlife is a bar in which he gets the same drink, “not another drink, not a second drink, the same drink.” He’s quickly joined by Lucifer (Louie) who is trapped in a “heaven” of his own, and while Louie has a better understanding of the history and rules of the afterlife, he’s just as lost as John. The play develops into an interesting rumination on the implications of perfection – familiarity breeds contempt, even when it’s exactly what you wanted....

Went with a large group and everyone loved it! Witty and intelligent writing, combined with excellent performances from the small cast. This highly entertaining show was both thought-provoking *and* devilishly funny. The theater was also great, with nice waiting areas, restrooms and refreshments, and air conditioning. ... full review

"Angels & Whiskey" proved that the leading man could well have Hollywood saying "Hugh who???". A very engaging performance and storyline.... full review
