A wickedly funny dark comedy about a young journalist who is high on ambition and low on morals. Featuring Joey Hood (Killer Joe, Bombs in Your Mouth, The Collection) and directed by HPT Artistic Director and Austin Arts Hall of Fame member Ken Webster (The Pillowman, Dog Sees God). The Boston Globe called this show "viciously funny . . . especially to anyone who cares about the creeping power of tabloid values even in the 'serious' press." Curtain Up called it "a thrilling ride." Atheists, Christians, Jews, and Muslims will all find The Atheist a savagely funny night of theatre.

Joey Hood's tour de force performance of this jaded and dark new comedy by Ronan Noone is definitely the reason to see this show. You will definitely get your money's worth.
