Processus Satanae LIVE (Fragment)

Episode 127,   Jan 16, 2020, 08:49 AM

A 'recon' of Processus Satanae, a fragmentary play.

Fragments: Processus Satanae - Or, Satan Vs God (Case Number 666)
It's cue script time again - the text known as Processus Satanae is mostly the dialogue for the character God, with a few words as cues for the lines. It's a tricky one to date - somewhere around 1560 is the best guess, but it could come anywhere between 1500-80. The plot is simple. Satan sues God for ram raiding hell and stealing Adam, Eve and the rest of the Old Testament. This is a recording of a live presentation, recorded on Halloween 2019 at the Farmers Club in Bury St Edmunds, followed by our initial exploring session from earlier that year.
