The year is 1320 in the stinking town of Netherhole.

A young nun feels the hand of God clutch her guts, an ambitious Earl issues a dangerous decree, and a ghost rises from the river.

Doctors, priests and rumours descend and Netherhole’s fortunes are changed forever.

The Netherhole Martyr is a play recounting a year in the fortunes of the people of Netherhole, a Yorkshire town in the grip of religious fervour after a young novitiate enacts a painful communion with the divine through her constipated bowels.

This surreal and macabre play, written in shades of Donne and Swift, is fully illustrated by Sigrid Koerner and Hannah Mansell.
