God's Favorite

Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOD : God's Favorite


God's Favorite is a play by Neil Simon, loosely based on the Biblical Book of Job. It was published in 1974.

The setting of the play is a Long Island mansion, where dwells a pious, God-fearing tycoon and his family: a long-suffering wife, a prodigal son and a pair of kooky twins. One night a messenger from God (with a big G on his sweatshirt) arrives, and, as in the original story, goes through all manner of temptations to renounce God. When he refuses, he is visited by all the afflictions imaginable. He stands firm and the messenger has to admit defeat.
