Jumping between past and present, it's a fragmentary portrait of an unconventional threesome: two gay men and the god that comes between them. Atheistic, anxiety-prone Adam (Tom Wahl) has fallen in love with Luke (Josh Canfield), a devout evangelical Christian dead certain of his salvation when the rapture comes, despite the small problem of his homosexuality.
Incredulous of his boyfriend's religion, Adam is obstinate and often unrelenting in his nonbelief, which causes strain on the otherwise solid relationship. But when Luke suffers a life-threatening car accident (it's no spoiler — it happens before the play starts), Adam is forced to confront Luke's conservative parents — to whom Luke never outed himself — as well as his own beliefs.
It would be all too easy to make any number of these people into polarizing caricatures, fitting them snugly into sexual and theological pigeonholes. But all of them come out as three-dimensional humans coping with a tragedy. Hall's direction never misses, finding the perfect comedic and dramatic tones, which are played with tender subtlety by his exceptional ensemble.
