The Christians

by Lucas Hnath | Directed by Nigel Maister

In Lucas Hnath’s The Christians, a megachurch pastor delivers a sermon that shakes the foundations of his congregation’s beliefs—sparking a crisis of faith, loyalty, and doctrine. With sharp dialogue and moral urgency, this powerful play explores the cost of conviction and the fragile line between belief and belonging.
