Archon, The

Archon, The by ***. An original rock musical about an extraterrestial being who comes to earth to bring peace. Premiéred internationally by PACT and directed by Geoffrey Sutherland at the Johannesburg Civic in 1979. They brought out *** to star in the play and used up an immense technical budget. Besides protests about its theme from certain Christian communities, it also failed as a production and lost PACT a great deal of money.
