Notes: | Adaptation By Philip Wilson From Novel By J L Carr | |||||
Synopsis: | There is a humanity and elegiac beauty in Carr's strong, evocative prose that resiliently survives this transition to the theatre, and the production aims with sniper-like accuracy at the audience's heart. The action is set during the beautiful summer of 1920 when two traumatised survivors of the war come to the Yorkshire village of Oxgodby. The hero, Tom Birkin, describes arriving in pouring rain to uncover a medieval wall painting of the Last Judgement in the parish church. Thanks to shell-shock, he stammers violently and has a violent facial twitch. Working in a nearby field is Charles Moon, an rchaeologist who has returned from the trenches with a leg full of shrapnel and a painful secret. The two become friends, and Birkin also encounters many of the other villagers, not least the beautiful wife of the cold and creepy vicar | |||||

Synopsis: | The Picture is a magnificent costume drama of tested love, clandestine meetings and a magic image. Matthias, a young knight of Bohemia, goes off to the wars, taking with him an enchanted image of his wife Sophia which his friend Baptisa assures him will indicate her constancy. If she is challenged in love in his absence, the picture will yellow; if she succumbs, it will blacken.
