JOB II: The Demon of the Eternal Recurrence

JOB II: The Demon Of The Eternal Recurrence comes hard upon the heels of one of the biggest hits of 2002, with its prequel JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical garnering a nod as Best New Play of 2002 from the Montreal English Critics Circle and being named one of the Top 10 Shows of the year by Star critic Richard Ouzounian. JOB II picks up where JOB left off, but takes its audience from the God-filled world of the Bible into the godless world of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Don't bet against hip-hop lightning striking twice with writer/performers Jerome Saibil & Eli Batalion.

Sequels can be tricky things. For every Godfather, Part II you love to remember, there's a Jaws 2 you'd like to forget. However, the creators of last year's smash Fringe hit, Job: The Hip-Hop Musical, have mounted a follow-up called Job II: The Demon Of The Eternal Recurrence. The same dynamite team of Jerome Saibil and Eli Batalion who gave us the original are once again in charge and they promise this time to offer us "an existential journey through hip hop." I'll be there. It's at the George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Pl., starting at 7 p.m. tonight and continuing through July 12. Their warning cautions us about "gunshots, and some scenes contain nihilism." Kewl.
