Month In the Country, A

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
