The History of the Devil by Phil Stokes, Sarah Stokes, Clive Barker
5.0
(read this specific play collected in the volume "Incarnations: Three Plays by Clive Barker")
The first time I've read one of barker's early stage plays and while this has its issues here and there, (most of which I'm sure stem from the fact that I read the script as opposed to seeing it preformed live on stage!) this is still just as good as his other written works of his I've read so far!
Basically the plot of this play is the devil is put on trial to see if he should be allowed back into heaven or if he should be confined forever on earth with humanity! Needless to say its very much what you would think a Clive barker stage play would be like!
