Only Neil Simon could write a funny play from
the story of Job! A tycoon, his wife and family, live
in a mansion on Long Island. One night a
messenger from God arrives with a big "G"
on his shirt. Our modern Job won't
renounce God, so a fire is set to wipe him out.
Everything becomes a test of faith.
His wife asks him how he can love a God who
makes him suffer so. He gets an itch, then neuralgia,
tennis elbow, and hemmorhoids. Having lost
everything, God's messenger admits defeat
and asks for a letter of recommendation!
