God's Dice (NHB Modern Plays)

By David Baddiel

Science and religion go head to head in David Baddiel's debut play: a ferociously funny battle for power, fame and followers.

When physics student Edie seems to prove, scientifically, the existence of God, it has far-reaching effects. Not least for her lecturer, Henry Brook, his marriage to celebrity atheist author Virginia – and his entire universe.

God's Dice is an electric tragicomedy about the power of belief and our quest for truth in a fractured world. It premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in October 2019, starring Alan Davies as Henry, and directed by James Grieve.
