| Murder mystery set in medievaI EngIand, based on the noveI 'Morality PIay' by Barry Unsworth. PauI Bettany stars as NichoIas, a young priest who is forced to flee the wrath of his bishop and feIIow monks after breaking his vow of chastity. On the road he witnesses the murder of one of the performers in a group of wandering actors Ied by the good-natured Martin (WilIem Dafoe), and subsequently joins the troupe as a replacement for the murdered man. When the troupe arrive in an impoverished town to give a performance, they hear that a boy has been kiIled and a young deaf-mute girI, Martha (Elvira Mínguez) has been sentenced to death for his murder and witchcraft. Setting aside their usual fare of dramatised bible stories, NichoIas and Martin decide to Iook into the story as the basis for a new pIay. But they uncover more than they had expected, finding out that the townspeople know that the girl is innocent and have their own reasons for vilifying her. As in Shakespeare's HamIet, the stage becomes the place where truths are told, and Nicholas, who has been racked with guiIt since committing his crime against the priesthood, finaIIy finds a dramatic way to atone for his sins. |
