-First produced in Nottingham, 1948
+A play about totalitarianism, inspired by the plight of Catholic Cardinal Iozsef Mindszenty (1892—1975). It is done as a series of scenes between The Interrogator and The Prisoner, where the Prisoner is a Cardinal in the Catholic Church of a middle-European country and the  Interrogator represents the totalitarian government which has taken over that country.  They each respect the other, but cannot accept what the other stands for.
