Pentecost

An epic tale of our times. Set in an abandoned church on the eastern border of the new Europe, Pentecost begins with the discovery of a long hidden fresco that could revolutionize the history of western art. The contest over authorship, ownership and meaning of the painting provokes passionate religious and political controversy; until an unexpected and threatening arrival in the church sets events spiraling towards an explosive climax. Very much a play for the ’90s, Pentecost confronts head-on the major cultural, national and historical questions which face contemporary society as it approaches the millennium.
