Beginner's Guide to Deicide, A

Synopsis:
the lights come down, and a guy named Bob Moran, whose exact function or reason for being here is never remotely explained, narrates some pre-show "warnings." Shortly after this, the play proper begins, in the midst (so it appears) of a scene between a teenage parochial school student named Lucy and a Pope. the title and the advertising blurbs have already clued us in on Lucy's objective she's decided to kill God, for no clearer reason (at the moment) than that she's dissatisfied with how He's done His job. the Pope, naturally, is opposed. It's not long before they've launched into one of Vampire Cowboys' signature fight sequences, with the girl wielding a sword and the Pope wielding an official-looking staff.
