Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Renaissance, this play tells the story of Thomas Tallis, one of Britain's most successful composers. Living under four monarchs, Tallis was forced to adapt his compositions to suit their religious demands.
The contrasting fates of Tallis and a young priest are woven together in Swale's vividly imagined drama, spanning from the dissolution of the monasteries through Mary's bloody reign, to encounters with Elizabeth and the mysterious Dr Dee, culminating in a dramatic conclusion.
