NEW YORK—Forgiving past hurts and moving forward is often easier said than done, especially when the reason for your pain is still right in front of you. Playwright Leah Nanako Winkler makes this point clear in her involving comedic drama “God Said This,” presented by Primary Stages at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

Hiro (Satomi Blair) is a 30-something New Yorker who left her childhood home of Lexington, Kentucky, long ago. Her memories of that time are colored by her father’s alcoholism and her mom’s efforts to shield her children from the worst of the turmoil.
