Plot summary: Roger Rees’ compilation for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s small-scale
tour which I produced in 1978 dealt with English themes and obsessions.
Rupert Brooke (who died while serving as a soldier in the First World
War) wrote about his time at Cambridge living in the old vicarage at
Grantchester upstream on the River Cam — “Stands the Church clock at
ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?” — afternoon tea being
an English institution.- Ian McKellen
