This play is based on the wartime novel by Grahame Green.Green was part of a clutch of left of Centre establishment writers who became devout and orthodox Catholics as a result of experiences during the War.It was an odd choice for fairly libertarian spirits in view of the Pope during the War having links to the main players of Fascism.
Here is a fairly accurate though ungenerous review from the Guardian critic.Revisiting a Grahame Green Novel for theatrical inspiration can never be pointless.
