Thomas Tallis is a portrait of the life of one of Britains most successful composers set against the tumultuous political backdrop of the renaissance. Living under four monarchs, Tallis was forced to adapt his compositions to suit their religious demands, but at what cost? In Swales vividly imagined play, we follow the contrasting fates of Tallis and a young priest, from the dissolution of the monasteries through Marys bloody reign, via encounters with a young Elizabeth and the mysterious Dr Dee, to their dramatic conclusion.
