Three plays exploring the lives of intelligent men. First the reader finds themselves on the Donnington estate with the Earl of Huntingdon and his educated brother Theo in 'Souvent me Souvient'. Then they are thrust into the psychologist's chair with possible psychotic patient Tom Baxter in 'Mind Games'. Finally, the reader enters the political madness of the 16th century where Catholicism is illegal but socially intelligent Thomas Rutnam is pulling all the strings.
