When a couple suffers a tragic accident, their grief propels them into a fantastical world where the Tooth Fairy sings, their flight attendant is a cross dresser and GI Joe offers family counseling. It's a lyrically absurd journey of love, loss and laughter. Jenny Schwartz's play is directed by Rory Kozoll and features Troy Blendell, Paul Caramagno, Alana Dietze, Andrea Grano, Tara Karsian, Amanda Saunders and Jeremy Lee Shranko. God's Ear was a finalist for the 2007 Susan Smith Blackburn Award.

This was an astounding play; the exploration of grief was so new, and so overwhelming that I cried from about the second line to the last. Wonderful performances - a cast of gifted, committed actors. A piece that defies description in terms of its structure, and dwarfs my abilities of expression in terms of its play with language and fusion of acerbic comedy and harrowing bereavement. Loved it! Will go again.

I didn't know where it was going at all in the first 5 minutes, but then it really took off. Great acting and a very entertaining take on clever dialogue. If you want to see something that is very out of the ordinary go see God's Ear you won't be disappointed.

The performers were just fine. The play was one note, a couple distanced themselves from each other, and a recititation of cliches. Nothing made us care about the characters or the unobvious plot. And we endured this while sitting for one hour and 45 minutes straight. We failed to see what the newspaper reviewers saw in this show.

Whoa...I once saw a guy at the gas station with three thumbs - he would have given God's Ear 'three thumbs up'. The writing is genius and the acting was precise.
