Overview

Synopsis

At the end of the day a middle-aged priest welcomes a guest into his home. A glass of wine is offered. The two men sit and a conversation slowly begins. The unseen visitor is young, confident, enigmatic; his host is nervous, unable to settle, his attention returning again and again to the Virgin and Crucifix which watch over him.

For years the priest has devoted his life to God and fought daily against the temptations of the flesh. Now, fearing for his immortal soul, he confronts the man - or angel or demon - who haunts him. Tonight the conflict must come to its end.

Martin Foreman's one-man show Angel explores what happens to a man when he devotes his life to celibacy and what he must do to destroy the passions that threaten his soul.
