"Strange Gods"
A play by Robert Knuckle
A devoted mother, a troubled priest, a couple taking instructions for a mixed marriage are confronted by the perverse power of a dogmatic Catholic pastor. This humorous but provocative drama will make you think about your religious beliefs and ask: what sort of Strange Gods demand that their own creatures believe the unbelievable?
"I loved the Strange Gods script.", Catherine Lawson, the Ottawa Citizen
"Strange Gods is not for the timid. It's not a condemnation of the Church. It's about what happens anywhere when power gets into the wrong hands.", Gary Smith, the Hamilton Spectator.
