Light Shining in Buckinghamshire by Caryl Churchill

Light Shining in Buckinghamshire by Caryl Churchill

The story of the men and women who went into battle for the soul of England during the English Civil War.

'Epic and astringent.. the fevered spirit of the times, its sense of new-found, numinous possibility, is infectiously relayed'

* Telegraph *

'A fascinating play that presents a pivotal point in English history'

* British Theatre Guide *

'Dense and passionate... gripping radical theatre'

* Financial Times *
