This renowned playwright turns his attention to the Church of England. In this drama, the Church is attracting unwanted publicity, racked by dissension on matters of doctrine and practice, and at odds with the government. This climate affects the Reverend Lionel Espy and his team of clergymen as they struggle to make sense of their mission in South London. A zealous young curate intensifies their personal and professional problems. This play has won four awards for best play.
