Gospel of Cyrus According to Cyrus, The

Theater for the New City presents THE GOSPEL OF CYRUS ACCORDING TO CYRUS, a new play by Chris Talbott. When American writers want us to look at the evil within us, they frequently turn to hillbilly dramas. Cyrus has been rudely appointed by God with a smack on the head and instructed to spend the rest of his days “drunken-smashed-continually.” Relieved of inhibitions by this peculiar covenant, Cyrus becomes a cult leader and embarks on a life of excess, mostly the venal kind.-dlm
