Penda's Fen fuses a multi-layered interrogation of social, political, familial and religious forces with a queer, pagan and radically subversive understanding of place, culture and history, to chart a singular rite of passage into adulthood for its protagonist Stephen. Recognised at once for its visionary imagination, and an enduring influence on generations of writers and artists who witnessed that original transmission, dramatist David Rudkin’s remarkable work has become one of the most enduring and rewarding touchstones of post-war British culture.
