This hilarious comedy written by Neil Simon, is based on the BooK of Job.  In the Old Testament, God tells the Devil that there is a man whose faith in Him is so great that he would not renounce God no matter how much suffering he is subjected to, and this man is Job.  Neil Simon has created Joe Benjamin (JoB), a present day tycoon living in a Long Island mansion with his wife and three children when he is visited by a “Messenger” who tells him that the only way to save his business, his family and himself is by renouncing God.  After a series of funny tragedies, Joe still refuses to renounce God; the “Messenger” admits defeat yet asks for a letter of recommendation.

"Awesomely funny…the work of a man of vision. It'll make you laugh out loud."-New York Daily News

"His jokes have a kind of hilarious deadpan ecstasy and, even better, are taken from life."-The New York Times.
