FORT WORTH, Texas – It never fails, the inevitable “Why me?” and “What did I do to deserve this?” that come when life turns upside down. That is where Roberta finds herself at the beginning of I Have Angered a Great God as she retraces her steps over the past few days to see where things went horribly wrong.
The answers might be more forthcoming if she weren’t so constantly distracted, talking on the phone with her now ex-best friend, Martha.
Written and directed by TCC adjunct faculty member Brad McEntire, the drama was inspired by his observations of people.
“I have noticed over the years how unaware and oblivious of each other we have become, especially due to our devices like smartphones,” he said. “Seemed like good fodder for a comedy.”
I Have Angered a Great God explores what happens when contemporary cellphone etiquette meets an ancient force: a Tiki god with anger management issues.
“I hope the audience laughs a bit,” McEntire says, “but also walks out a bit more aware of the real-life people around them.”
Cast members include Mia Jimenez (Roberta), Tamia Tubbs (Martha), Noah Flores (the Great God) and Emma Woodley (Therapist Jones).
