WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Neil LaBute's newest play, David Duchovny stars as John Smith, a man who, amidst the chaos and horror of the worst office shooting in American history, sees the face of God. His modern-day revelation creates a maelstrom of disbelief among everyone he knows. A newcomer to faith, John urgently searches for a modern response to the age-old question: at what cost salvation?

Update, I went again
Thanks to the Gold Club I got to go back and see this again painlessly. On second viewing it was still engrossing. Complex play, yes, but well worth the investment, even twice. Would love to read it for myself, so will buy it. But for now, Go see it.

Great acting, good setting and a very thought provoking piece. It is analagous to that time when you are reading a book and say "Wait, let me read that again, what did he really say?". You will certainly come out wondering whether John Smith is for real or not and the plot twists and turns dont make that easier to decide. s is interesting and thought-provoking play writing on a very tricky subject. Go, see for yourself.

Neil LaBute, one of today's most provocative playwrights, has turned to God. In his intriguing new play, The Break of Noon, being presented by MCC Theater at the Lucille Lortel under Jo Bonney's direction, the sole survivor of a violent office shooting claims to have been saved after hearing the voice of the Lord telling him that "all will be well."
Played here by X-Files and Californication star David Duchovny, the generically named John Smith was not a particularly good man before the shooting, and it's unclear just how much he's changed afterwards. There's a distinct possibility that he's merely exploiting his newfound fame, especially as he's gained a great deal of wealth as a result o[...]
