God on Trial
Synopsis
God On Trial is a 90 minute drama for BBC Two written by Frank Cottrell Boyce (Welcome to Sarajevo, Hilary and Jackie, 24 Hour Party People), his first television project in ten years.
Cottrell Boyce's script takes as a starting point the story that prisoners in Auschwitz, their faith tested by their suffering and the barbarity of the Nazis, put God on trial. In the drama the charge is that God has broken his covenant with his chosen people to protect and care for them; the trial takes place in a camp blockhouse over the course of one day around a selection of those prisoners who are going to be taken to the gas chamber.
