SCENE 1
Heaven. �e Angel control room. Upstage, a large screen, and three desk stations, as in a security room. Downstage center, an angel choir practice is taking place. Upstage, with their backs to the practice, three angels have their feet up on the desks and are channel sur�ng. �e stations appear to be full of colors, shapes, and sounds. Some are screeching and dissonant, others harmonious, some images beautiful and others very ugly, all stylised, but most are a mixture of light and shade, dark and light, nothing purely gobsmackingly beautiful. Visual prompt, think Kandinsky meets Hilma af Klint.
