"At the heart of The History of the Devil is the question of free will – how much of the tragedy and debauchery that the witnesses described was the work of The Devil, and how much was the dark side of human nature? Did Satan deserve sympathy for the trials and betrayals he had suffered throughout his exile? If God and Heaven abandon us, what do we have left except our humanity?" - Elsie Lawrence Backstreet Brisbane

Only two shows left - TODAY at 2pm and 7pm.

"The undeniable star of the show was Connor Scoble as the Devil. From the moment he appeared Scoble absolutely commanded attention. His ultra-charismatic performance was top shelf, showcasing his excellent stage craft and physicality. His ability to capture the subtle nuances of the Devil throughout the ages and through different relationships was extremely powerful." - David Wilson (Absolute Theatre)

The Devil has many guises - some mischievious, some seductive, and some maybe just a little bit evil? Regardless, does he deserve a second chance?

You only have two chances to find out TODAY at 2pm and 7pm before the Devil flies off back to Heaven or Hell....
