Synopsis

Symapthy for the Devil Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer.  Whatever the name, it means one thing and one thing only; pure, unadulterated evil.  But is Satan really such a bad guy, or merely a convenient invention of God's in order to keep us all in line?  Maybe it's time we heard the other side of the story.  Maybe it's time we heard from Satan.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HELL treats us  to a funny poignant monologue straight from  Satan, giving us the inside story we've been missing for so long.  The truth is, Satan wasn't really a troublemaker.  He was just a fun-loving guy who couldn't fit in.  The kind of guy who'd rather drive his convertible than use the wings all the other angels wore; the kind of guy who could never remember to put a coaster under his drink.  For these and other such sins, he was banished from Heaven.At first, Satan didn't mind Hell.  At least he was left alone.  But then the sinners started showing up, and the sudden, crushing responsiblity of tending damned souls was too much for the happy-go-lucky Satan to bear.  After centuries of silence, we finally meet the real Satan; a gentle misfit made God's scapegoat, whose crime and punishment were worlds apart.
