The Power of Duff
Play Description
When TV anchor Charlie Duff begins to sign off each broadcast with a prayer, a growing crowd of believers becomes glued to their TV sets — wondering when their prayers will be answered. But what the prayers do — and don't do — to those closest to Duff tests the news anchor's own beliefs. Stephen Belber's sharp, funny, and moving play asks if there is anything more vital than the faith we have in one another.
