Reverence: A Tale Of Abelard And Heloise

Synopsis:
here the clash is of romance and religion in a fevered hothouse of fleshly and heavenly desires. the only nod to the intellectual is that -like peeping Toms - we first glimpse abelard and Heloise making love through the gaps in the books on the library stacks. Heloise is clearly teacher's pet. Full of cries and whispers and the sound of self-flagellation, Goat and Monkey's promenade production oozes atmosphere and makes terrific use of the cavernous, vaulted ceiling spaces under London Bridge station (the new premises of Southwark Playhouse)
