The West End Players Guild’s production of Lucas Hnath’s The Christians is a riveting, twisting tale of faith, belief and trust. While those three terms may often feel synonymous, the script artfully reminds us they are quite distinct in meaning and practice. Excellent performances and staging in the Union Avenue Christian Church’s sanctuary elevate a well-crafted script that avoids moralizing dialogue and easy answers.
