Christopher Shinn's gripping play looks at Luke, an aerospace billionaire, who can talk to anyone. But God is talking to him. He sets out to change the world. Only violence stands in his way.

Go where there's violence. Silicon Valley. The future. A rocket launches. Luke is an aerospace billionaire who can talk to anyone. But God is talking to him. He sets out to change the world. Only violence stands in his way. Christopher Shinn's gripping play received its world premiere at the Almeida Theatre on 12 August 2017 in a production directed by Ian Rickson and featuring Ben Whishaw as Luke.

A playwright who writes with unshowy depth and unforced menace on a challenging subject * New York Magazine *
Mr Shinn sees and hears people as they are, and his greatest strength is his ability to reproduce onstage the clumsy poetry of natural human interaction. That skill is rarer than you might think. * New York Times *
