' The Boy and the Bishop'
A play based on an incident in the life of St. John of Beverley by the Rev. R. T. Brooks
Produced by Herbert Smith
One day rather more than twelve hundred years ago a boy was playing in the woods which bordered the Tyne. Along a forest path came a group of monks and their Bishop, bound for a little . refuge in the forest where they were to spend Lent; and somewhere in the woods the boy and the Bishop met. This is the starting point of today's play, which tells how the meeting changed the boy's whole life.
