The Book of Mormon engages with the terrains of disinformation, religious ideology, and hope; influences that affect everyone, but most just doff their hats in the general direction and conveniently shuffle away.
Intertwined with female genital mutilation, dysentery and fucking frogs, the show manages to be both hilarious and powerfully thought-provoking.
Sticking a finger up at authoritarian rule ─ it’s a heart-warming tale of good over bad with some banging tunes to boot.
Funny, frantic, and fiercely poking fun at fundamentalism, it’s the new Life of Brian.
Simply the best show I’ve ever seen.
