'The Jesters of the Lord' by Frederic Manning
Adapted and produced by Rayner Heppenstall
With Robert Eddison as Francis of Assisi, and Abraham Sofaer as the Pope
In 1209 or 1210. after much delay and with misgiving, Innocent III granted the young Francesco Bernardone permission to found a religious brotherhood following the rule of absolute poverty. The interview at which this was done and the first adventure of the ' little brothers ' as they set out from Rome are portrayed with great delicacy by a writer who died in 1935
