God Only Knows: Vatican Intrigue Drives Thriller From Acclaimed Playwright
Theatre 40 at The Reuben Cordova Theatre (Beverly Hills, CA)
No one writes urbane English drama like Hugh Whitemore, be it for stage (Breaking the Code and Stevie are classics) or for the screen (84 Charing Cross Road with Anthony Hopkins, My House in Umbria with Maggie Smith). Now comes the America premiere of his sublime thriller, God Only Knows. Stuffed with good food and better wine, four tourists relax on the terrace of a villa in Tuscany. Suddenly a fugitive materializes out of the shadows, a man who claims to possess forbidden knowledge that is both momentous and dangerous. The Vatican, an Italian antiquities dealer and a Jewish preacher known as Yeshua Ben Pantera all figure into this fascinating and delightfully puzzling play. David McClendon directs for Theatre 40 of Beverly Hills.
