A play written by Creator/CliveBarker, detailing the trial of [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]. The audience attends as would-be jurors and are transported back in time via vignettes of testimony that illustrate the Devil’s actions throughout history. Notable appearances in the court and during flashbacks include [[TheDivineComedy Dante]], Jesus Christ and Lilith. The prosecution argues that the Devil’s presence on Earth has had a disastrous effect on mankind, whereas the defense counters that the Devil is – and always has been – man’s greatest scapegoat. The Devil demands that he be found innocent and be released to return to Heaven.
