here's a good one...

The Christian dramatist ...doesn’t have to tell the whole gospel at once.  He may find insights coming from the negative dramatic work of people like Albee, Ionesco, and Samuel Beckett, who depict man’s loneliness and hopelessness without God.  But he will not stop there.  He must do more than expose man’s depravity, more than raise searing questions about human existence; he must start to work out some answers in terms of justice, love, reconciliation, and resurrection. (Gordon Bennett)
