"A triumph! An adventurous, arresting new play!" -New York Times "An original and inventive theatrical experiencebrilliantly written and staged!" -Associated Press "Magnificent!" -Time Out NY "What a remarkable new voice!" -Newsday "God's Ear packs a wallop! An intriguing, haunting and moving play." -Backstage. The wife stays with their daughter and the tooth fairy and tries to figure out how to cope from home. A husband and wife have trouble coping with the loss of their son, they find themselves speaking in cliches and the husband travels to forget. 2007 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize winner. Through the skillfully disarming use of clichéd language and homilies, the play explores with subtle grace and depth the way the death of a child tears one family apart, while showcasing the talents of a promising young playwright who "in a very modern way is making a rather old-fashioned case for the power of the written word" (The New York Times). Drama / Characters: 3m, 4f God's Ear marks the debut of Jenny Schwartz, "an indelibly clever playwright, possessed of linguistic playfulness and a lively sense of rhythm" (The Village Voice)
Top 10 of all time performances I saw this play in both NYC incarnations. Haunting, lovely, weird. I remember it vividly and I see tons of theater that I never think of again. This one has never left me. Thank you, Ms. Schwartz.
