GOD'S OFFICIAL

by Farquhar, Robert

God’s Official is a hyperactive tale of loyalties and injustice. Devastated that a dodgy refereeing decision has condemned their beloved football team to relegation, Cliff and Degsy seek retribution by abducting the referee. As their half-baked plan goes increasingly awry, the captivated official has his Christian faith to draw on whereas his clueless captors can barely muster a coherent thought between them.

“You know a true comic playwright has arrived when the audience start laughing before the actors tell the jokes.” - The Guardian

“God’s Official is certainly a brilliant anarchic comedy filled with witty one-liners and great quips, but it is also much more than a simple rib-tickling play.” - Liverpool Echo
