A young Judean exile transcribes the Acts of Abraham and Lot in ancient Babylon; the Guild of Salters presents a mystery play of Lot's Wife in medieval York; Botticelli paints the 'Destruction of Sodom' for a court in Renaissance Florence; a bereaved rector searches for the Cities of the Plain in 19th century Palestine; a closeted gay movie star portrays Lot in a controversial biblical epic in 1980s Hollywood. With its interrelated narratives and interwoven documents, 'Of Men and Angels' is both formally inventive and imaginatively rich.
