Lot & His God, by Howard Barker

Written by controversial, world renowned playwright Howard Barker, this powerful and imaginative play, exposes the human truth behind the biblical legend of the story of Lot.

Lot and His God, from Howard Barker’s Plays Six, is set the day before the city of Sodom is completely annihilated. Among the grimy tables of a run-down café, an angel meets Lot and his wife and tells them that God wants them to flee before the city is obliterated. However, Lot's irresistible wife has other ideas. As the angel and Lot's wife embark on a dangerous game of seduction, cruelty and desire, we are drawn ever deeper into the dark and impenetrable forest that is the marriage between Lot and the bewitching woman he worships.
