New, original comedy 'Twist of Faith' at Playhouse 22

"Twist of Faith" is a new, original comedy produced at Playhouse 22 in East Brunswick, New Jersey. "This zany, fast paced play features God and the Devil wagering over the eternal fate of a church going accountant and his family. Once the bet is made, all hell breaks loose. It's going to be a tough week at the Hendricks’s house."

Directed by Gerry Appel, the play offers a unique experience for the theatergoer.

“People come out to the theater because they want to see something different. First productions of new works are rare and that makes "Twist of Faith" special," said Appel. "The actors get a chance to put their stamp on the show and the audience has the thrill of seeing something new, funny and off the wall.”

Playwright Richard Fink summed up the show, "Gerry and I have said that "Twist of Faith" is a screwball comedy that will make a believer out of anyone. That's true because the show is about every day people thrown into an out of control situation that abruptly changes their lives. That type of thing happens to lots of people in the real world, although God and the Devil are not behind it. Or are they?"
