"Think Golden Girls—but with rosaries, righteous rage, and holy hilarity!"
Sweet Margaret opens the door to a missionary—and suddenly her steadfast Catholic faith starts to shake. Her fiery sister Mary leaps to the rescue, dragging in their unsuspecting priest for a no-holds-barred showdown of wit, will, and scripture. A heavenly comedy with a devilish twist!
"Faith is a complicated business—and sometimes, as SAVANNAH DISPUTATION shows, a funny business, too.” —Boston Globe.
“This script is VERY funny; a comedy rooted in situation and character …blissfully entertaining. But it never shies from important subjects …This play is filled with fascinating and funny theological and philosophical debate.” —NY Theatre.
“SAVANNAH knows what we’re anticipating, and defies it at every turn, challenging believers with sly accuracy…The boundaries separating Christianity and Catholicism may be unremarkable to the casual observer, but to those in either camp, they’re as distinctive and divisive as ethnicity.” —Time Out New York.
THE SAVANNAH DISPUTATION is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. www.dramatists.com
