Description

Audrey Craven arrives at a bustling dinner hosted by the Dean of St. Benedict’s, a gathering that pulls together Oxford scholars, celebrated novelists, and a handful of society’s most curious characters. Amid thunder‑laden skies and a room humming with conversation, she stands out not for beauty alone but for a fierce moral courage that compels her to dive headfirst into the chaotic mix. The evening becomes a laboratory for her keen observations of human nature, as she watches the interplay of ego, ambition, and the restless search for deeper meaning.

Among the guests are the famed writer Langley Wyndham and his sharp‑tongued critic friend Percival Knowles, both intrigued—if reluctantly—by Audrey’s restless intellect. As she engages with the eclectic crowd, from the earnest theologian Broadbent to a young, questioning philosopher, she begins to probe the very foundations of faith and identity. Listeners will be drawn into a world where wit, philosophy, and a young woman’s determination collide, setting the stage for a compelling journey of self‑discovery.
