In this play, Dorothy L. Sayers addressed the crimes and problems
of human life, especially those of the victors in war, in an
entirely novel way, by precipitating an airman in the very moment
of his death back into the company of citizens of the "City," in
this case, Lichfield. The citizens range from Adam and Eve (Adam
himself the inventor of the axe which kills Abel) together with
other biblical characters in the history of redemption brought to
new life as members of the City (e.g., Judas is a common informer).
Others bear burdens of shame, toil, fear, poverty, and ingratitude.
Former inhabitants (e.g., George Fox, Dr. Johnson) help the airman
see that no more than they can he shift the burden of guilt and
grief that they all share. There is but one remedy, to join the
"Persona Dei" carrying his cross, finding indeed that he bears
their burdens for them. The "Persona Dei" is finally seen in
resurrection and glory.
