Synopsis: God has been on holiday for a thousand years and decides to visit his creation. Having left a world where he was feared, loved and worshipped he now returns to find another sort of world. This satirical play attacks the cult of status and the ridiculous emphasis we put on fame. Hilarious scenes as we look at pop stars, soaps, film stars, politicians, art and workman seeking to rise above the masses and achieve icon status.
