Marisol

Winner of the 1993 Obie Award. An apocalyptic urban fantasy which urges society to “wake up” and somehow find a way to recover the long-lost and much-needed compassion for our fellow man, as this is the only way to save our world. As the play begins, Marisol narrowly escapes a vicious attack by a golf club-wielding madman while traveling home on the subway. Later that evening Marisol is visited by her guardian angel who informs her that she can no longer serve as Marisol’s protector because she has been called to join the revolution already in progress against an old and senile God who is dying and “taking the rest of the universe with him.” Alone, without her protector, Marisol begins a nightmare journey into this new war zone.
