The Western Australian's theatre critic provides a synopsis of the story taken from the programme. Briefly, the narrative sees Satan rebelling against 'Heaven's Almighty. He is defeated and thrown into Hell. The Almighty creates a new world, placing therein Adam and Eve. Satan, hearing of the new world decides upon the fall of Adam and Eve, and his journey from the regions of Hell through Chaos, his meeting with Sin and Death, the Anarch and the Angels of the Almighty, are all.... told in Acts 2, 3, and 4. The fall of Adam and Eve, and their expulsion from the Garden is of a most pathetic nature.'
In the last act the author takes us from the early days of the world to the coming of the Messiah and deals with the temptation of the saviour, the defeat of the Evil one and the glorious victory over death. The scenic settiings involved artistic representations of Palestine (12 November, p5).
