Help me find a play about angels?

August 3, 2006 3:22 PM

I had a discussion a while back where the girl I was talking to mentioned a play she had been in. It's about God going insane which in turn causes the angels to rebel in an attempt to save creation and I know it's not Angels in America. Does someone know the title of the play I'm talking about?

It sounds like José Rivera's Marisol:

"The millennium approaches. There is Armageddon in Heaven and an Apocalypse on Earth. God has become senile and the angels revolt, leaving humans to fend for themselves. Without her guardian angel, Marisol ~ an Everywoman ~ struggles to live her life with some sense of normalcy. In the face of imminent cosmological disaster, she manages to find compassion, courage, love, and humanity, and in the end, her own sense of redemption."

Probably Marisol by José Rivera.

BTW -- Rivera also wrote the screenplay for the film "Diarios de Motocicleta" (The Motorcycle Diaries).
