Summary

In The Sovereign State of Boogedy Boogedy, Carter recounts the Book of Daniel in a funky urban dialect, bobbing and weaving his way through biblical themes. Set primarily in a courtroom where Daniel (now Danielle) must defend King Nebuchadrezzar against the accusations of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the play cites Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the Temptations, and Amos ‘n’ Andy as it bounces from the biblical age to contemporary America, which has its own false idols: drugs, race, and family values.
