Neil Brand - Righteous Brothers

When a young monk experiments with vocal harmonies, the whole abbey and its order are placed in jeopardy. Stars Tom George and Ioan Meredith.

Harmony is the joyful noise that Brother Caradoc wishes to offer to the Lord, and he dreams of taking his fellow monks to a higher musical plane with him.

But if plainsong is the rule, is he inspired by God - or sent by the Tempter?

Neil Brand's drama stars Tom George as Brother Caradoc, Ioan Meredith as Brother Esmonde, Clive Swift as Methuselah, Peter Kenny as Brother Alyn, David Timson as the Precentor, John Woodvine as the Abbot and Carolyn as Lady Emma.

Director: Ned Chaillet
