by Elaine Morgan.
Starring Rosalie Crutchley as Rachel, Thomas Heathcote as the Officer, with Douglas Blackwell as the Soldier, Colin Blakely as Simon
From Wales
The action of the play takes place a short time after the birth of the infant Christ, and after the Holy Family has fled into Egypt.
The wife of Simon, the innkeeper, is now able to give all her attention to her own baby son, but it is not long before the soldiers arrive to carry out their systematic massacre of the innocents. There is, however, a tragic irony in the situation that follows, for the officer who has given the orders for wholesale slaughter is wounded, and at the mercy of the mother he has driven nearly insane with grief.
