The Scandalous Parson
Directed by Brian Waddell28mDrama
Watch the author of Gulliver's Travels face trial by television. Quick of mind and provocative of opinion, Augustan satirist and cleric Jonathan Swift finds himself transported to a 20th century television studio. There he engages in a verbal battle of wits with UTV interviewer David Mahlowe. Questions of religion, identity and nationalism are to the fore in what is believed to be the earliest surviving Northern Irish television play.
