The play follows an evening
church service with the Reverend Eddie, a
Protestant minister, and his assistant, Brother Lawrence, in a dilapidated
church. The audience functions as Eddie's congregation. The script draws from
conspiracy theories (including the titular
Illuminati, as well as the
assassination of John F. Kennedy and the
Freemasons),
vaudeville humor, and pop culture references, such as
Paul Lynde and
The Seventh Seal (whereby the Reverend Eddie plays a game of
basketball against
Death). ==References==
