Publisher's Synopsis
A beautifully gentle love story set in the 1960s outside York, between a farm labourer who acts in a local version of the Mystery Plays and the Director, up from London. Peter Gill evokes a time long past and attitudes coloured by a life lived with hard graft and without the light and love necessary to leaven it. Opportunities are missed but the ache of love lost remains. The York Realist was shortlisted for Best Play at the 2002 Evening Standard Theatre Awards
