The God of Hell, Sam Shepard
The God of Hell is a play by American playwright Sam Shepard. The play was written in part as a response to the events of September 11, 2001, and has been described by Shepard as "a take-off on Republican fascism." The plot concerns Wisconsin dairy farmer Frank and his wife Emma, and how their peaceful middle-American life is destroyed by Mr. Welch, a mysterious, ultra-patriotic government employee in pursuit of Frank's old friend, Haynes.

Oh, if only. If only this were the villainous climax. But no. What would this play look like if it were written before the 2016 election? Or the 2020 election? Who would be our dairy farmers then? And to think, Randy Quaid as Frank. How鈥檚 that for trajectory, eh?
Pretty weird. Pretty funny. I liked it a lot. Perhaps my favorite couplet:
Haynes: What鈥檚 that dripping sound?
Emma: The plants. I overwater them. I can鈥檛 help myself.

Love Shepard, but his new work doesn't have the emotional impact of his earlier work. The characters in this felt too flat even as the absurd conflict became more intense. Also, his political message was too obvious here. It definitely hurt the dramatic action of the play.

Intriguing and well-paced.

An un-subtle take on an un-subtle situation, The God of Hell is Shepard's response to the so-called War on Terror. Set in rural Wisconsin, chosen most likely because of the links with Joe McCarthy, the play hammers the erosion of American freedom in lock-step with Abu Gharib and Guantanemo. There's next to no humor and the politics are sledge-hammer. A long long way from Shepard's best, but when it was produced in 2005, it was making points that needed to be made. I would have liked to have seen Randy Quaid in one of the lead roles.

Picked this up in the uni shop, thinking I hadn't read any drama in a while. I was expecting more than a WTF from Shepard. Ho hum.

I've never sat down to read a play for pleasure before. I liked it. It reminded me of a graphic novel where the stage directions are the illustrations. Although I had to excercise my imagination a little more because, well, there's no illustrations :) I picked this one up because the Editorial staff at Booklist magazine shared what they had read for fun that year. With all they read for reviews, they don't have much time for pleasure reading. At 98 pages with lots of white space, I was able to read half of this one before I even left the library. It's about a couple living in rural Wisconsin. He takes care of the cows, she takes care of the house. Their hosting one of his friends from college days when a salesmen knocks on their door trying to sell American flag paraphenilia

鈥滷ew American playwrights have exerted as much influence on the contemporary stage as Sam Shepard. His plays are performed on and off Broadway and in all the major regional American theatres. They are also widely performed and studied in Europe, finding both a popular and a scholarly audience鈥� (short biography of Sam Shepard)

This little one-act isn't about Watergate, and it wouldn't get you into Rushmore Academy, not if I was in charge. I just didn't really like it. That's all.

Very good play! Political in nature and very interesting play regarding corporate vs. the American Family...

I enjoyed this read because it is set in my hometown of River Falls, WI.

Surprisingly sub-par from Shepard. It's as if he left the artist in the backseat and drove as the miffed American instead.

Really great writing - would have loved to see a production of this too. Wonderful tension and a nice link between America's recent problems and the fear around McCarthyism.

While Shepard's aim here is laudable, I think it's pretty clear he falls a bit short of the mark. The menacing Welch is one of his greatest creations, but the means by which he tortures and bedevils a rural couple and their "houseguest" are thoroughly unimaginative and under-cooked. Much like "States of Shock" (although this is FAR better than that misbegotten farce), there's also a fixation on male anatomy that's by turns obnoxious and dispiritingly obvious.
With that said, I'd probably lean towards 3.5 for this overall. It makes for a brisk read, and I think his emphasis on producing this before the 2004 election was wise. Nowadays, it's hard to imagine anyone getting the point or taking it seriously, media literacy having been under assault now for decades, but I find it heartening (as if there were ever any doubt) that Shepard was so staunchly opposed to the actions of the Bush administration at the time.
The Abu Ghraib imagery here in particular (hell, he even has the character who gets tortured call himself *Graig* throughout) feels clumsy, but what the hell else can you do with something like that? I think this works best when it functions as an expression of otherwise-ineffable rage and sorrow. The clumsiness is somewhat forgivable in that sense.

I suspect that this late Shepard play is more entertaining to watch than it is to read. Reminiscent of "Geography of a Horse Dreamer" and "Curse of the Starving Class" in different ways, "The God of Hell" is also Shepard at his most satirical; the play is quite the nasty critique of our government as a network of sadistic ecoterrorists out to destroy the very American Dream which they claim to protect and promote. Can a Wisconsin couple take on g-men when they raid the heifer farm? Hell, no.

A play from 2005. Stimulated by what occurred in the USA following 9/11. Although not overtly political in nature, it is provocative in going to the logical conclusion of inner warfare of America in the extreme. Not his prime, as his prime was pretty damn high, but a pleasure nonetheless. And with this, I do believe I have read everything Sam has/had written.
