Miss Lilly Gets Boned is a provocative play that explores the intertwining themes of love, faith, and self-discovery as a Sunday school teacher navigates the disruption caused by a troubled student and his father.
About The Play
About The Play
Miss Lilly, a Sunday school teacher, has been waiting patiently for God to drop a man in her lap. When a new student – a young South African boy whose mother was killed by an elephant – disturbs the harmony of her classroom and his father disturbs the harmony of her heart, Miss Lilly is forced to re-examine her own sense of faith and self.
Right or wrong, sinful or holy – a natural force is at work in Miss Lilly’s classroom where her hymns are accompanied by the rumble of angry elephants and her prayers are answered by a stranger to her god.
Nominated for the L. Arnold Weissberger Playwriting Award in the US, Miss Lilly Gets Boned is a wild exploration of love, courage, family, sex and religion from one of America’s most exciting new playwrights.
