Racing Demon
by
David Hare
5th - 13th December 1997
Directed by Mike Rogerson
Forming the first part of the David Hare Trilogy (which also
comprises Murmuring Judges and The Absence of War) Racing
Demon focuses on the Church of England. A disparate body, the Church
now finds itself attracting unwanted publicity, wracked by the dissension
of its members on matters of
doctrine and practice and at odds with the government. In this
climate the Reverend Lionel Espy and his team of clergymen struggle to
make sense of their mission in South London, as the arrival of a zealous
young curate intensifies their personal and professional problems. Premiered
at the Royal National Theatre in a production starring Oliver Ford Davies,
Richard Pasco and Michael Bryant, Racing Demon has toured very successfully
in Britain and abroad and has made several triumphant returns to the Royal
National Theatre.
