Splendid, a beautiful note for the play. I would love to make the trip south, but guess I am too deaf.

Co-incidentally a few days ago I was pointed to Roger Tempest who alternating at times with Richard, re-iterated across centuries. There is a Wikipedia page, but this catches the flavour of history and its uncertainties. These were recusants, so the Ladychapel survived. https://fmg.ac/phocadownload/userupload/foundations3/JN-03-01/037Tempest.pdf

PS 'The Country House' in England can be more than a cliche plot. Fred Hoyle, Astronomer Royal, located 'The Black Cloud', a good Sci Fi yarn, in an echo of 'Bletchley Park', with another brilliant mind, and a fated search .

Thank you for this entertaining & interesting summary - I must try try get tickets! Is it possible that you have a word missing in the explanation of Fermat's Last Theorem?

"has no SOLUTION for whole numbers, x, y and z and for whole number n greater than 2, but that the margin he was writing in was too small to contain it."
