Morality Play by Barry Unsworth

3 1/2, rightly speaking.
I have no idea what I was expecting...just not that? It's one of those concepts that I think would do better as a movie. The whole story is so visual and so much about visual storytelling that I think it suffers for the medium.
Honestly, I do know that I was expecting a much more dramatic, bloodier end. All's well that ends well? For peasants in medieval England tangled up in a public scandal of the local rulers? I think the fuck not.
