The Naylor Affair by ELISABETH BOND with music by STEPHEN BOXER
After the execution of King Charles I, English society was in a state of flux. It was a time of intense religious interest, with men and women struggling to find their own way to God. One of the most important sects that sprang up was the Quakers, and one of its most important members was James Naylor. His preaching created a following and he had to carry the weight of his disciples' fervour.
