Synopsis
The Beheading
Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 1 Female
Set in a Mediterranean country, this powerful play portrays the harm that can be done to people by spiritual corruption and the misuse of innocence
It is a study of maneuver for power between church and state and in which the frustrations of a woman, the honesty of a man and the faith of a young priest are deliberately involved until all three are destroyed by the bishop and the president who manipulate them like chess pieces
"A beautifully constructed, outspoken and challenging play" ~ London Daily Express
