Paperback £18.99
Concluding John Patrick Shanley's 'Church and State' trilogy of plays that began with Doubt and Defiance, Storefront Church tells the story of a Bronx Borough President who is forced by the mortgage crisis into a confrontation with a local minister.
Blending earthy humor and philosophical reflection, this compassionate morality tale is an exploration of the often thorny relationship between spiritual experience and social action.
'Some of Shanley's sharpest comic writing in years… His intense engagement with questions of religion and ethics remains distinctive and invigorating.'
New York Times'There's a deeper philosophical vein that the author mines, allowing his language to acquire the heft and timbre of a serious moral debate… We taste bitterness, but also much that is sweet'
