The 17th century brought extreme upheaval to the people of Scotland. The Stuart kings imposed what they believed to be their divine right in both matters of state as well as the church. Thousands of people signed the National Covenant affirming that Jesus Christ was the head of all Christian people - not the state. Hundreds of these "Covenanters" maintained their Divine allegiance. In doing so, they forfeited their life. This drama brings to life the story of two of Scotland's "Covenanters", Margaret Wilson and Margaret MacLachlan, and contrasts their story with a modern day high school or university student Greg, who finds it hard to share his faith.

This play, based on historical characters and events, brings vividly to life the struggles of the early English Reformation under Henry VIII, where a wavering king, passionate Calvinists, and adherents of the Pope vie not only for supremacy in the church, but for the success or fall of the Tudor line, and life or death for themselves. The heroine is Anne Askew, “a poor knight’s daughter,” accused of not believing in the miracle of the Mass, and put on trial for her life by the Church. But the secular forces are also interested in Anne, not for her heresy (which they care nothing about) but because she may incriminate the Queen, their enemy. In the midst of the trial King Henry himself unexpectedly appears, ready and eager to interrogate Anne personally (as he did, historically, in several heresy trials). The outcome turns on Anne’s determination to defend her conscience against both Church and State, and against the extreme Protestants who see her as a tool in their own power struggle.

In its original form, Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant has strongly Christian themes. Sadly, many modern editions abridge the story, missing the point that true repentance comes when we meet Christ, and that the Lord rewards love shown to "the least of these." This present adaptation for stage is close to the original storyline and develops these Christian themes through song and dialogue, as well as retaining interwoven imagery of the cycle of the seasons. (Authors: adapted by Robin & Delwyn McKenzie from Oscar Wilde) |
