Gregory Motton’s latest play, and his fourth to be premiered in France, is a lyrical comedy. It concerns God’s relationship with his creations, and Man’s destiny. It includes episodes with God and Lucifer, Isaac and Rebecca and their sons Jacob and Esau, Jacob and the Angel, Jacob begetting his children, God’s love affair with Mary, the birth of Jesus, and the Saviour’s final betrayal by his idolising follower, the lonely, fearful Judas.
