Doctor Syn

Doctor Syn

In 2001 the first stage adaptation was performed at churches throughout the Romney Marsh, the final night being performed in Dymchurch itself. The cast combined professional actors such as Daniel Thorndike (the author's son), Michael Fields, Steven Povey and Ben Barton, along with various amateurs from the marshes. Although filmed, and covered heavily by the press, pressure from Disney (which owns parts of the concept) prevented further distribution.

Famous quotes containing the word doctor:

    “It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness—physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
