| Description |
'Mind must be the firmer, heart the more fierce, courage the greater, as our strength diminishes' - These words, spoken 1000 years ago by a dying Saxon warrior still carry meaning for the orderly, Peter - an eccentric little man who is harassed in his minimum wage job and seeks solace in his historic recreation society and the heroic world of the Anglo-Saxon poem The Battle of Maldon. Set on what may be his last day at the hospital, The Orderly weaves together the stories of Peter's mundane world with that of a heroic last stand at The Battle of Maldon, a ferocious battle between Saxon defenders and Viking invaders. |
