Reviews

Clever, funny, well acted.


(5 stars)

A rare combination – clever, funny and very well acted. This is a cheeky and affectionate send up of the pretensions and assumptions of organised and disorganised religion, starting with Christianity then having gentle fun with some other varieties. I am not certain about the elephant origin tale but I confess I found it curiously persuasive. The ending was very human and suitably ambiguous. Highly recommended.

Thank you!
