The treatment of John Clare in this play highlights his concern with "green issues", the enclosures of 19^th century England and his frustrations as a "country poet".

He becomes alienated and disturbed and takes on different personas.

I deal with his incarceration in an asylum and his sympathetic doctor’s concern for him.

The play is not just a plea for green issues but an account of how one man’s life can be shaped beyond recognition by the lack of acceptance of his work.

It is emphatically different from Edward Bond’s play of the seventies

"Morris's captivating and dramatic play is not a plea for green issues, nor is it documentary or biography, it is an interesting and partly factual account of one man's life and how it can be shaped beyond recognition from its original intended path by the lack of acceptance of his work"...........Indie Website
