Everyone knows the official version of what happened when God got pissed off with Sodom and Gomorrah but is that what really happened? Old Soles Theatre Collective’s God Save the Sodomites, by Aliyah Bourgeault and Emmet Logue, playing in Native Earth’s Minogitoon Workspace Giizis Studio, gives us a different version. God wants Sodom (and Gomorrah… look we all know what the Sodomites were up to but what’s with Gomorrah?) smited/smitten? whatever but Abraham has nagged God to save Lot; the one righteous man in Sodom (maybe?) and God is fed up of arguing with Abraham (who wouldn’t be). So he sends the Angel of Wrath Af (Emmet Logue) and trainee Angel of October (and genitals) Barbiel (Aliyah Bourgeault) to do the smiting with the proviso that if they can find five genuinely good Sodomites they can spare the city. Af is unwilling to complicate matters and argues for instant smiting but Barbiel persuades him to at least look for the five worthy Sodomites.
