Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Variable casting. "In The Spotlight" is the third book of acting scripts for young people and follows the format of its predecessors, ACTING YOUNG and CENTRE STAGE. Schools and Drama Schools have found the self-contained nature of the pieces means that their pupils have a better understanding of the subjects and therefore greater empathy with them. Once again the subjects range from the serious to the absurd, but always looked at through the eyes of a young person. | |||||

Synopsis: | Set in the wilderness, the play depicts the final conflict between good and evil, between God and Satan. Satan challenges God to keep his part of an ancient bargain. If evil should ever triumph over good, God had promised to grant Satan the ultimate power of heaven - the power to see. Satan demands that power and God cannot go back on his word. However the power to see is not what Satan imagines it to be. It is something far more basic and, to Satan, destructive. | |||||
