Meet author of Tyndale play this coming weekend


This weekend, Members and Friends of The Tyndale Society have two opportunities to meet playwright David Edgar, author of the critically acclaimed 'Written on the Heart'.

The play will run at the Duchess Theatre, Covent Garden until Saturday May 19th only.

TSJ Reviewer David Surtees has said of the production: "David Edgar’s research has been meticulous and the history comes over well and is engrossing. There are plenty of references to Tyndale’s collaborators and the period that will have Tyndalians buzzing in their seats."
