Hand to God
Written by Robert Askins
Directed by Jarrad West
Presented by Everyman Theatre
Thing about a saviour is you never know where to look. Might just be the place you saw the devil before…
In the tiny, conservative town of Cypress, Texas, the shy, mild-mannered Jason is just trying to be a good son. When he joins his mother Margery’s Christian Puppet Ministry at the local church, Jason discovers a burgeoning talent for puppetry, and after his father’s sudden death it seems like things might just turn out okay.
Tyrone the puppet, though, has other plans. As the foul-mouthed, independent, and devilishly funny Tyrone grows in strength, Jason’s complex relationships with the school bully, the girl-next-door, and most importantly, his mother, are thrown into upheaval.
A blasphemous black comedy (with puppets!) that explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us, Hand to God will leave you sore with laughter.
After a critically acclaimed season 3 years ago – we’re thrilled to be bringing back this outrageous comedy to the Hub to end 2025 with a demonic bang.
‘…deserves to be a sell-out every night because it is the funniest thing I’ve seen in years.’
~Bill Stephens, Australian Arts Review
This is the most outrageously funny and discerningly honest play that you are likely to see this year.‘
~ Peter Wilkins, CCC
