About the Show

A new work following a Staff Sergeant who still shoulders the burden of his time in Afghanistan.

Guns, God and Gomorrah follows Staff Sergeant Joel Molly's harrowing journey on the road to redemption. The former combat veteran hears a Voice, asking him to go on a mission. On the way, he encounters help in another man named Virgil, but rejects him—determined to accomplish this assignment alone. Facing a number of obstacles along the way, he finally arrives at his destination and discovers that he has made this journey many times before, each time getting a better understanding of who he is and what he needs to do in the next chapter of his life.

"Krawczyk’s leads the way in mastering the combination of drama, absurdist, and moments of light comedy all in one theatrical production. There is a Samuel Beckett flavor to this play, which Krawczyk begins with and teases in one direction at first, but is able to manipulate its drama into another, ensuring his audiences are always comfortable to stay for the ride...A lovely ensemble cast with good, natural ease between them, in no doubt due to excellent direction by experienced theater director, Eddie Lew."
