1400. Mayor's Parlour. Cool Clary



BBC Blurb

A romantic comedy set in the Middle Ages ('1400, either more

or less or exactly'). It reflects the world's 'exhaustion and despair'

following World War II, with a war-weary soldier who wants to die,

and an accused witch who wants to live.



In form, it resembles Shakespeare's pastoral comedies.
