"People Do Strange Things!" Steven Boyer & Rob Askins Discuss HAND TO GOD In Extensive New Video Q&A

All about HAND TO GOD with the creator and star!

Fresh Broadway hit Hand to God is discussed in detail as part of an extensive Q&A now available to view featuring star Steven Boyer as well as playwright Rob Askins as part of AOL Build's ongoing video interview series.

"People do strange things in the middle of this country, so I decided to write about it," Askins candidly reveals in the video of his impetus for writing HAND TO GOD.

Furthermore, Askins adds of the controversial and predominant theme of the piece and what inspired it, "Religion is the central preoccupying narrative of my young life."

"The hardest thing about rehearsing it is that you don't have a free hand to hold your pages," Boyer humorously adds about the rehearsal process in learning to play dual roles in the provocative play.

"It somehow proved easier to rehearse both of them at the same time," Boyer relates.

The official description of Hand to God is as follows: "After a smash downtown run that earned rave reviews and a Critics' Pick from The New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York Magazine, this new American Play comes to Broadway. The hilarious and provocative Hand to God centers on shy, inquisitive student Jason, who finds an outlet for his burgeoning creativity at the Christian Puppet Ministry in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason's complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door and-most especially-his mother are thrown into further upheaval when Jason's hand puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own. Hand to God explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us."
