Description: JB is a 20th century version of JOB, the most referred to book in the Bible. This modern masterpiece has all the drama and poignancy of its Old Testament counterpart and it has somewhat a better ending and answers to the question about why bad things happen to the good. JB's blinding trust in a God who rewards the good and punished the sinful remains despite all that happens to him or his family. The devil has more compassion for him than God and his wife even more. She first leaves him for his maniacal faith only to return with her answer to the answerable--love. The play raises the most troublesome question of faith and like the book Job has no answers except (1) the ways of God are mysterious (an answer unworthy of the question and those whose circumstances most need to know) and (2) your answer is the afterlife's rewarding heaven or fire-consuming hell. There is no answer as God is silent and exists in the regions of one's faith and choice that stems from the free choice God gave us as a consequence of sin. Could He just have decided at the Garden to kick us out with a "good riddance?"
