WHERE: St. Pat's Museum, 87 Esplanade, Sydney
WHAT: Having grown tired of waiting, the Devil decides to put an end to it. The world, that is. After announcing it on the evening news, the people of the world react in some very different ways. Some wonder about the things they want to accomplish, some dwell on the current problems they are facing, and one woman takes on a mission to stop the Devil in his nefarious plot. A new sketch comedy that questions why we are all here, what we have done since we got here, and how we're all going out.
