A surreal comedy about the prophet Jonah, written by Kenneth Nowell, directed by Shari Johnson

Whos that lady? Wait, thats no lady, thats the Super-Essential Godhead, source of all being! And she
wants Jonah to go to Ninevah. But how does he feel about it?
Jonah is simultaneously Gods prophet and a burned-out businessman working through personal issues. Just as hes finally escaped the clutches of dehumanizing urban life and the suffocation of a middle class lifestyle, God commands him to return to Nineveh with a message of repentance. Jonah journeys first away and then towards his destiny through a kaleidoscopic dreamscape that evokes the worlds of folktales, Kafka and the Marx Brothers. And there's that whale part.
