Among this magnificent array of talent there were some performances that stood out - most emphatically that of Martin Freeman as The Bedlam (or village idiot) who is gifted with second sight although his ramblings are incomprehensible to the villagers, or indeed to the new young Rector, so intelligent, yet so ill-equipped to deal with the human problems facing him.
Freeman was, quite simply, superb - he was touching, funny, sad and visionary, yet always within the context of the character.
My flatmate goes to the theater group that Martin Freeman used to be involved in - YAT.
