The War In Heaven at 2nd Stage Theatre

The term "The War in Heaven" originally referred to the theological concept that God and his archangels defeated a rebellious Lucifer, hurling him and his forces from Heaven, giving rise to the term "fallen angels." This precedes the Fall of Man in most ancient accounts. In the new narrative by Angelo Michael Masino, Lucifer makes a new attempt to control the destiny of mankind in The War in Heaven. In the present time, humanity is on the brink of disaster. But there is hope, as a new, biracial Christ child will be born in the Twenty-First Century to a new Mary and Joseph to redeem the people of the world. Archangels Michael and Gabriel walk the earth in human form to ensure the survival of the new Christ child, aided by Mary M. (the Magdalene) and the original Jesus, a supportive if somewhat faded presence. Arrayed against them are Lucifer, his son Damien and the forces of darkness. A wild card in the proceedings is the presence of Lilith (originally a figure from apocryphal Jewish folklore). With whom is the modern Lilith allied? A previous association with Michael runs counter to her own shadowy origins. Will her actions tip the balance of fate and determine the ultimate destiny of humanity in the young century? Will the new Christ child be a bearer of light to save us all?
