Description "Playwright Howard Barker's story is set against a backdrop of medieval Britain at the time of the Crusades, but the isseus are vigorously modern: scientific mayhem, the redemptive power of sexual love, the alienation of the spirit of enquiry from the needs of the community, and the exploration of the point at which protection and oppression pass into one another".
