Description: |
Carel, rector of a derelict City church, lives with his daughter, Muriel, his beautiful invalid ward, Elizabeth, their West Indian servant, Patti, Eugene, a Russian emigre, and his delinquent son, Leo. Carel's brother, Marcus, tries to make contact. At the centre of the dance is Carel himself, believing that God is dead and His angels are released. |
Synopsis: |
Carel is widowed rector presiding over a London church destroyed during the war. The rectory is home to an array of residents: his daughter, Muriel; his beautiful invalid ward, Elizabeth; their West Indian servant, Pattie; Eugene, a Russian emigre, and his delinquent son, Leo. Carel's brother, Marcus, is co-guardian of Elizabeth, but his attempts to get closer to the rector are constantly rebuffed. These seven characters maintain a constant dance of attraction and repulsion, misunderstanding and revelation, the centre of which is the enigmatic Carel himself - a priest who believes that, God being dead, His angels have been released. |
