The Savannah Disputation

This world premiere script comes to Writers’ Theatre from Evan Smith, the playwright of The Uneasy Chair. The story revolves around two sisters forget all about southern charm when a young door-to-door evangelist comes proselytizing. Smith, known for his wildly eclectic thematic writing, employs his trademark sharpness of wit and draws a compelling portrait of the conflicts between dogma, faith and the wildly variant interpretations of biblical texts depending upon the point of view and needs of the reader.
