Three great minds. One amazing friendship.
A nun, a playwright, a museum curator make an unlikely trio, but the brilliant insights and stinging wit which they each possessed made them a force to be reckoned with! Sir John Gielgud, Dame Wendy Hiller and Patrick McGoohan star in this Masterpiece Theatre production about one of the most extraordinary friendships of the twentieth century.
In 1924, legendary Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw (McGoohan), was introduced to Dame Laurentia McLachlan (Hiller), a Benedictine nun at the Stanbrook Abbey in Worcestershire, England. Along with their mutual friend, Sydney Cockerell (Gielgud), directory of Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, the trio enjoyed twenty-five years of letters, literary debate and laughter.
The sparkling dialogue, adapted from the trio's journals and other writings, comes alive through the talents of Gielgud, Hiller and McGoohan. Relive their vigorous discussions on everything from the existence of god
