Divine Comedy is Storm Theatre's paring of two heavenly French one act comedies. Both deal with Grace, or how God's love works in the world. 

In the early 20th century, Henri Brochet, along with his mentor Henri Ghéon, dedicated themselves to creating a popular French theater with religious themes. Their company Les Compagnons de Notre-Dame (and its successor Les Compagnons des Jeux) presented earthy, often comic, yet sublime new works modeled on the great works of Medieval Theater. St Felix and his Potatoes by Henri Brochet is one such delightful play about an attempted robbery. 

Prosper Mérimée
was a French dramatist, historian, archaeologist, and short story writer. He is best known for his novella Carmen, which became the basis of Bizet's opera of the same name. His play The Coach Of The Holy Sacrament has inspired operas (Offenbach's La Perichole), movies (The Golden Coach directed by Jean Renoir and starring Anna Magnani) and the 1928 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Bridge at San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder. Here Mérimée presents the comic but true tale of the conflicted romance between an amorous elderly Spanish Viceroy and a beguiling young actress in late 18th century Peru.
