1940s in Underwood, Notts. The characters were; Opener In, St. George, Slasher,
Doctor, Belgebub [misprint for Belzebub] and Devildoubt. Performances were
given to the Haggs Farm Preservation Society (because of an interest arising
from D.H.Lawrence mentioning the play in "The White Peacock"), and venues in
Bagthorpe, Underwood and Brinsley. A list of the actors is included.
