The Madness of Solomon Wright

I attended a Baruch Play from the 18th to the 30th called “The Madness of Solomon Wright”. My friend brought me along to watch this play because he was friends with the cast members. To be honest, I did not expect the play to be good, but my expectations were wrong.  The school club that produced it (“Exit stage left”) did an amazing job. The back story  is that there are a bunch of people in a cult and Solomon Wright is the leader of the cult who can talk to the gods. Everyone in the village is brainwashed because they grew up in the village where the messenger (Solomon) is a schizophrenic psychopath who kills people and rapes them.  Two elders try to keep Solomon alive and cover for his actions because he has rights passed to him with 400 million dollars from his family.  They need him to sign a will to pass his wealth to him.  One of the villagers finds out about this plan, and near the end of the play, she gets lobotomized for her efforts to stop them and the cult continues on.
