The Plays: Quevedo: The Soul's Dark Night

back to main plays page

(BBC 2; broadcast 1993)

This is the only television play I have ever managed to get broadcast.
It’s the story of the poet Quevedo, now an old man, living in squalor, and what happens between him and his next door neighbour, a nun.
I loved it at the time and so proud of it.
But now?
Again, I forget.
