Two Plays: The Comedy of Dionysus and The Temptation of Adam (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781974269150)

The two plays collected here recount stories from the two streams of Western civilization. The Comedy of Dionysus comes from the Greco-Roman tradition. It concerns the events that occurred on the island of Naxos after Theseus slew the Minotaur and fled with King Minos's daughter, Ariadne. On Naxos, they encountered the god Dionysus. From the Judeo-Christian tradition, The Temptation of Adam brings together the fall of man in the Garden of Eden with the civil war in Heaven. In this telling, the angel Sammael grows increasingly distraught after Yahweh grants his wife Lilith's divorce request, and he watches the favor shown to Adam. He believes a war with Heaven is the only to stop the tide of lawlessness.
