Temptations hits the FOT stage

TO cap off a year of memorable speakers, Faith on Tap’s December get-together included a play called Temptation.

Intertwining the “seven deadly sins” within a modern-day twist, writer and director Liz Purton aimed to give the audience much to think about.

“The play was about the story of Adam and Eve and their fall in the Garden of Eden,” the drama and education student said.

“(And) as a secondary layer I spliced in excerpts of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.”

The 40-minute play had five roles – God, Adam, Eve, Satan, an angel – and Satan spoke directly to the audience.

“It was designed so that when the devil spoke to the audience directly they couldn’t often tell the difference between truth and lies,” Liz said.

“They then could make the link to how they are tempted in human society.

“People said they enjoyed the interpretation of Satan … he was played as a cool, charming man rather than a monstrous interpretation.”

Temptation was created under the banner of “The Pope’s Men Theatre Company”, inspired to form from writings by Pope John Paul II.

“The aim of the company is to put on plays that inspire goodness,” Liz said.

“We want to let audiences see something higher than them and encourage them to be more moralistic.”

In January Faith on Tap regulars and newcomers heard from Jesuit Father Gregory Jordan on “what it’s really like to be fighting demons on a daily basis”.

Go to The Pineapple Hotel, Kangaroo Point, every second Monday night of the month from 6pm to enjoy a meal and a faith-filled offering.
