Quarter 2 Reviews- 002 Historical Drama- Old


002 Historical Drama – Old

Answered Prayers by Stephen Wakelam was the lovely, meditative story of Walter (Kenneth Cranham), a priest setting up a monastery in remote Wales just after the First World War.  He is joined by cagey Francis (Stuart McQuarrie), a veteran, poacher, and drifter.  Francis is adamant he doesn’t want religion, but all the same, he and Walter get along well. Despite some very serious subject matter, it’s a rather uplifting story overall, with excellent performances.  It was produced by Janet Whitaker and also starred John Rowe, Ioan Meredith, and Philip Fox.  It was originally from 2004.
