Rudnick's later plays included "The Naked Eye", which depicted an extreme photographer along the lines of Robert Mapplethorpe, and in 1998, "The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told", which was inspired by the fundamentalist remark, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." In Rudnick's revisionist take on the Bible, God makes Adam and Steve, along with the first lesbians, Jane and Mabel. While the play was protested by religious groups, it moved for a commercial run, and the "New York Daily News" said, "You will find yourself laughing uncontrollably throughout the evening."
