THE DEVIL’S CATHEDRAL (2021) is set in May 1708, when the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane (“The Devil’s Cathedral”) was under fierce attack from the Society for the Reformation of Manners. These Puritanical reformers were determined to close it down, along with the notorious May Fair where the actors moonlighted at the fairground booths. In the novel, a leading reformer is murdered during a performance, and the company’s fate appears sealed – but Widow Trotter and her friends at the Bay-Tree Chocolate House are determined to expose the conspiracy and save the theatre. The novel follows the actors as they move from Drury Lane to the May Fair itself, where the plot reaches a suitably dramatic climax.
