Make Me a World

Music by Jim Parker, Book and Lyrics by Wally K. Daly

The Story

(Biblical with rock affiliations!)

This popular show, from the writers of Follow The Star, is based on episodes from the Old Testament beginning with the story of The Creation and finishing with the story of Moses. Oily, the head angel, oversees the creation and all goes well until Lucifer rebels and Oily is forced to send him to Hell. Thereupon Lucifer portrays the devil and tries to undo all the good the angels have done. Oily decides the only way to rid his world of all the bad people is to cause a flood - hence the story of Noah is incorporated - but Lucifer survives this and Oily nearly gives up all hope. A little later Moses arrives and tells the angels that Pharaoh has captured his men and won't let them go. Oily suspects that Lucifer is behind this, which indeed he is. However at the end of the day Moses defeats Pharaoh (as we all know!), and good prevails over bad.
