The Trial of God: (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod) by Robert McAfee Brown, Matthew Fox, Elie Wiesel

3.0

I'm disappointed. I love Wiesel and Night is one of my favourite books of all time. When I heard about this play and what it was about, I expected so much... instead, the first act could be eliminated and nothing would change, the second act should be way shorter. The play is titled "The trial of God" but the actual trial doesn't start until the third and final act, and when it does, it's not very interesting. There is so much that could be said and yet both the prosecution and the defense only express a few weak arguments. Too much time is spent on irrelevant stuff, and ultimately, there is no verdict.
This play was born from a great idea, but the execution was questionable to say the least.
