I'm trying to find a play (to read) that a friend performed a long time ago. it was about satan/ the devil being on trial for leaving heaven, stealing souls, etc. for some reason I had "The Trial" by Kafka in my head but that's obviously not it now that i'm 60 pages into it lol. Anybody know what play or book this might be? thanks!

Could it be Clive Barker's "History of the Devil"?
Some info:

(In Clive Barker's The History of the Devil, a deprived and lovelorn Satan is sick and tired of living in Hell. He bemoans the loss of his angel-wings, his freedom of flight, his elegance, and grace. And he misses God. So he calls a trial, his appeal, to seek re-admittance into Heaven. As the trial moves through space and time, we revisit scenes of humanity's great failures—or are they the work of the Devil, his own wicked crimes? If Satan wins his day in court, he'll be reunited with his Father in Heaven. And if he loses? He'll spend eternity here with us—on Earth.)

I think National Lampoon, the magazine did a comic strip on it, entitled: Roy Cohn in Hell. SO funny!
