THE ZEAL OF THY HOUSE

A play first presented at the festival at Canterbury Cathedral and well received. Another facet of an interesting personality is shown in this quite extraordinary religious play, based on the rebuilding of the choir of the cathedral after the fire in 1174. The scene of the choice of the French architect, the work of the architect and his contacts with his angels, his eventual withdrawal because they told him his pride was getting between him and the cathedral — a fine piece of work. One cannot see a wide market, however.
