Set in heaven, hell, and on earth at the dawn of creation, this sacred representation draws on John Milton’s epic poem and includes roles for Adam, Eve, Satan, Death, Sin, angels, and the Messias.
In Loudun, the prioress Jeanne’s visions and the nuns’ claims of possession are used to accuse Father Grandier of witchcraft. Grandier’s political conflict with authorities and private relationships fuel his prosecution; he is tortured and burned, and Jeanne eventually recognizes that her accusations arose from unrequited love.
At his wife's urging, the ambitious and cowardly Captain Ubu murders King Wenzel and takes the Polish throne. He enriches himself through the treasury, kills or imprisons rivals, and imposes heavy taxes; Prince Bougrelas returns with Russian support and leads a revolt, and after defeat Ubu, his wife, and their remaining followers flee the country.
