When Port-Royal was first broadcast in the Third Programme in 1956 REGINALD MOORE wrote: Here we have a deeply felt and masterly condensation of the resistance of a single convcnt-in seventeenth-century France-to the dictates of the Holy See. There is no change of scene- all the action takes place in the parlour at Port-Royal; but the attitudes of the nuns to their God, finely shaded in the case of Sister Angélique and Mother Agnes , are as various as their feelings toward one another. There is something of the inexorability of Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor about the Archbishop when he denounces the 'rebellious' nuns. Nothing could be more relevant to our present world situation than this drama of personal belief outraged by dogma.'
