Review: 

Interfaith Understanding with the Rev. Bill & Betty, by Martin D. Hill, deftly directed by Leonard Jacobs, is high-level political satire performed by Jen Ryan and Rik Sansone playing fanatical Southern evangelical Christian preachers. He is relaxed and sincere, she is hilarious - with the clean, clear facial expressions and timing of a Lucille Ball. They attack liberals, Gore, deny Global Warming, advocate guns and the bible. It's full of malapropisms, concept reversals and boundary pushing from profound to tasteless. It's a great comedy act (for a liberal audience), and I'm a pinko New Yorker, so I had a great time.
