God sets out to prove his creations really exist, enlisting the support of a quantum physicist, a 19th century children’s book author, a 13th century mystic nun, a 16th century alchemist, a 7-year old girl, and, stepping straight from the pages of a storybook (or movie musical), Lancelot and Guinevere. This unholy hybrid of science and art takes the audience on a time-traveling adventure through the multiverse.
