DESCRIPTION:
Book by Buckley, Christopher, Macguire, James
Unsatisfactory, Yet Noble Attempt at a Great Life St. Edmund Campion: Scholar, Historian, Orator, Actor, Playwrite, Director, Jesuit, Confessor, Martyr, and Saint. A biographic play about this extraordinary man should include all these, but unfortunately Buckley and MacGuire's play is clogged with far too many scenes, and far too many of them are too brief for us to get to know the great soul of the saint. The play is enormously well researched, and one can definitely learn something by reading this piece, yet in an artistic sense this play quite obviously borrows matiera. Excellent research Amazon Customer Buckley and MacGuire provide an excellent and very well reseached piece about Campion.. "God's Champion" according to Scott Rolph. This play is extremely similar to A Man for All Seasons, yet powerful in its own right. Cowritten by the son of the late William F. Buckley. This play is meticulously researched with only minor changes made for dramatic purposes. Saint Edmund was a heroic witness to the faith and to the power of personal conviction. This is an important aid to understanding the plight of Catholics during the reign of Elizabeth.
