 Susan and God, a CurtainUp review
Crothers uses Susan Trexel's new relationship with God to satirize the hypocrisy of some vociferously devout religionists, whose actions often don't match their declarations of piety.
The trouble with Susan's new found connection to God is that she's not insightful, especially when it comes to herself.
Susan's own husband, persuades her to send some of her " goodness" his way and instead of divorcing him and sending their daughter off to another summer at the camp she hates, spending the next three month as a family in their long shuttered house.

 New York Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
When she is with her chah-ming friends, Susan exudes and exults in spiritual lightness; she is as much a grandiose and splendiferous prophet and proponent of scripture as those who are born again claim to be.
More than a character study though, Susan and God pivots on a well-plotted compact: If Barrie can stay sober, Susan will live in their long-shuttered house so that daughter Blossom can experience a happy family life, yet if Barrie slips, even once, he’ll grant the divorce she’s long demanded.
Susan is masterfully shrewish and calculating: She knows Charlotte has always loved Barrie, and seeing them together—him sober, her sweet—she thinks she’ll get her divorce anyway.

 Susan Gets Religion ad the Mint Gets it Right
In the 1937 comedy "Susan and God," now in revival at the Mint Theater, Rachel Crothers satirizes the Oxford Movement, popular in the 20s and 30s and the inspiration for evangelical soirees of the time, as well as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Although "Susan and God" is almost seventy years old, the Mint Theater's revival under the lively direction of the company's artistic director, Jonathan Bank, is as fresh and pertinent as if it had been written yesterday.
Susan agrees to live with Barrie and Blossom at their home for the entire summer, under the condition that he will lay off the bottle.

 Susan and God   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Susan is Susan Trexel, a shallow, upper-class, rather self-involved woman, trapped (she thinks) in a loveless marriage to a bland alcoholic; she's just returned from an extended stay abroad and is primed to re-invent herself (as, we imagine, she's done many times before).
God is, well, God; or at least the God that Susan has found as a result of her latest obsession, a spiritualism that she became acquainted with whilst hanging around some fashionable cronies in England.
That's the outline of Act One of Susan and God, the Rachel Crothers drama from 1937 that Jonathan Bank is reviving at the Mint Theater.

 Susan and God
Rachel Crothers' 1937 play Susan and God is so timely and engaging that it should be revived yearly at theatres needing great parts for women.
Susan, a well-intentioned, unwitting hypocrite, is a terrific role, and Leslie Hendrix (the medical examiner on Law and Order) carries it off with charm and style, at times seemingly channeling Katharine Hepburn.
While she preaches love to her long-suffering friends, Susan would prefer to ignore her family: Husband Barrie (Timothy Deenihan) is an embarrassing alcoholic, and lonely daughter Blossom (adorable Jennifer Blood) longs for parental attention and a respite from the boarding school/summer camp shuttle.

 TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
Claiming that she merely wants to help her friends, Susan has soon wrecked two relationships, including the only recently sealed union between wealthy Hutchins Stubbs (Nigel Bruce) and his gorgeous young wife Leonora (Rita Hayworth), and is working on adding her own dissolving marriage to Barry Trexel (Fredric March) to the scrap heap.
Susan and God signaled an important career transition for Joan Crawford, from a sex symbol in early films like Our Dancing Daughters (1928) and Mannequin (1937) to a mature, seasoned actress who later earned an Academy Award in 1945 for her portrait of an emotionally divided mother in Mildred Pierce (1945).
Anxious to prove her abilities in Hollywood, Crawford accepted the role of Susan Trexel when her arch rival Norma Shearer, (often awarded the plum MGM roles denied Crawford, because Shearer was married to MGM head producer Irving Thalberg) turned the part down because she didn't want to play the mother of a teenage daughter onscreen.

"Susan and God", tells the story of society matron Susan Trexel (Joan Crawford) who after an extended trip to Europe arrives back home in a flurry of excitement over her newly discovered religious beliefs which to all her society friends appear to be just the latest fad embraced by Susan in her normally frivolous existence.
Susan however is no shining example of the advise she so piously dispenses and she experiences a complete estrangement from her normally loving husband who has been driven to drink by her repeated lack of care, and from her daughter who is socially withdrawn and simply wants a loving home environment with both parents.
Seeing the real hurt she has been responsible for Susan begins to realise that running away from her responsibilities is not the answer or the way of finding the personal salvation she has been talking so much about.

 Susan and God: review on TheaterMania.com
Susan Trexel (Leslie Hendrix) is the worst kind of society dilettante, a tornado completely unaware of the destruction she leaves in her wake.

Susan and God concludes the Mint's 2005-2006 season, which was dedicated to recognizing forgotten American women dramatists who, moreover, wanted to scrutinize the forgotten or misunderstood American woman.
