God will be ‘put on trial’ by a group of Auschwitz prisoners
God will be ‘put on trial’ by a group of Auschwitz prisoners in a new TV drama by the Catholic screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce. For his latest project, the Liverpudlian author chooses a moment when prisoners facing death consider forsaking their faith and accuse God of breaking covenant with his chosen people. God on Trial is currently being filmed in Glasgow, starring Sir Antony Sher and Rupert Graves, and will be screened on BBC2 later this year. Millions, Cottrell Boyce’s best known previous work, also focused on the relationship of the spiritual and physical world through its child character’s friendship with the saints.
