Saint Genesius
The Actor's Final Role
Rome, 303 AD. Emperor Diocletian struggles to unite a crumbling empire. The new religion of Christianity has torn too many Romans away from the traditional imperial religion, so Diocletian issues an edict making Christian worship illegal.
Christians are forced to gather in secret, under threat of imprisonment and execution. This persecution, along with the Emperor’s upcoming visit to Rome, presents an opportunity for two local actors. This is the story of Saint Genesius.

Taken from his Christian parents as a child, Genesius was raised by a cruel relative. He eventually ran away from home in order to become an actor. As much as he wished to become a great and successful comedian, when he finally meets the Truth of Christianity, Genesius abandons his ambitions and is willing to accept even death before denying his faith.
This series contains moments of intensity and mild arguments. Genesius and his friend Crassus lie about wanting to become Christians. Christians are imprisoned for their faith. Crassus and Genesius perform their play which mocks baptism and Christianity. Genesius visits a raided home-church. Mentions are made to Christians being tortured for their faith. The series ends with an implied martyrdom.
