1665.
The Great Plague has reached Cambridge.
Man of learning Francis Mortymer describes the blight and it’s tightening grip.
Sitting alone, in a stifling chamber with the plague closing around him, his thoughts circling smaller and smaller and darker and darker.
And the regular visits of his haunting, spectral doctor.
An atmospheric account of dread and fear.
And death.
Performed by Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, The Crown, Game of Thrones)
