The Trumpet Shall Sound by JOHN FLETCHER
In 1866 at Walsingham in Norfolk, the revolt of the old church orchestra against the installation of a new organ led to the blowing up of the church with gunpowder. In 1873, in his attempt to set up an agricultural labourers union, the Primitive Methodist preacher Joseph Arch addressed farm workers from all over Somerset. In 1881, thousands of poor folk gathered on top of Ham Hill in Somerset, to await the end of the world. These are the events that have inspired this play, in which Jacob Stone , an impoverished farm labourer. prophesies the Second Coming of the Lord.
