    Liverpool Network Theatre Group presents:

    Light Shining in Buckinghamshire by Caryl Churchill, is a powerful examination of the collapse of societys rules in a time of revolution; it explores what happens when long established beliefs are challenged in desperately hard times. The revolution concerned is the glorious English revolution of the 1640s and the play shows the impact of these momentous events on ordinary people; the soldier radicalised by his exposure to the democratic movement, the woman driven from her home struggling to survive in an intolerant and authoritarian society and the ranters, heretical individuals who preached their gospel of liberation in defiance of church and state. Many of the views expressed by the ranters and the language they used, was considered blasphemous and offensive at the time and some may still find it offensive today. Light Shining in Buckinghamshire, created in 1976 as a response to the prevailing political and economic crisis which rocked the foundations of British society, is as topical today as ever, as institutions considered sacred are called into question. This production,
