Thought it was a very good production overall;It tells story of intellectual Priest who is emotionally shipwrecked and seeks comfort in the company of a couple of working class teenage schoolkids; Its part tale of repressed sexuality coupled with social commentary on religion and community.
Its Touring after the London run ( Leicester, Salford,Cornwall);
Yeah, there's been a lot of interviews in the papers up here with McDiarmid about that production .Sounds interesting.He's a good actor. He was great in an Inspector Morse episode (only seen it the once) in which he played a psychopath.
