In The Tiny, Conservative Town Of Cypress, Texas, The Shy, Mild-Mannered Jason Is Just Trying To Be A Good Son.
When he joins his mother Margery's Christian Puppet Ministry at the local church, Jason discovers a burgeoning talent for puppetry, and after his father’s sudden death it seems like things might just turn out okay. Tyrone the puppet, though, has other plans. As the foul-mouthed, independent, and devilishly funny Tyrone grows in strength, Jason's complex relationships with the school bully, the girl-next-door, and most importantly, his mother, are thrown into upheaval. An irreverent, occasionally shocking, and perpetually hysterical romp to hell and back.
Directed by Alexander Berlage (There Will Be A Climax, Cry-Baby & American Psycho), winner of the 2018 Sydney Theatre Award for Best Direction of a Musical, Hand to God is a blasphemous black comedy (with puppets) that explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us as well as leaving you sore with laughter.
