A Letter from the General

By Maurice McLoughlin

It is 1950 and revolution has swept a far eastern country and now reached a mission station which cares for children.

Sister Henry (Genni Trickett)
Ruth Stilton (Catherine Russon) & Arthur Stilton (Jack Feltham)
Sister Magdalen (Emmy Lloyd) and Sister Henry (Genni Trickett)

A new, Communist, government is now in place and is persecuting religious orders throughout the province.

Captain Lee (Kieran Neale) & the Mother Superior (Jacqui Draycott)

The mission is cut off from the local village and the orphaned children have been removed.
