The Boy Who Dropped An Egg on the World

T01609219072
In a time of war, the Day of Judgement has come. The play is set in a desert cafe on the eve of a Western invasion into the heart of the Middle East. A massive sandstorm approaches. The cafe-goers prepare for the worst. An American visitor comes through the door. No-one is as they seem - there's the Devil, the wrath of God, a future Prophet, a mad ghost woman and a couple of foolish intellectuals. In an epic tale told in myth, realism, horror and humour, using Greek and Biblical traditions, the battle between good and evil is played out against a supernatural and apocalyptic background.
