Leeds, home of the Royal Armouries and once site of a large tank factory, recently played host to the Quaker Theatre Company’s performance of ‘George Fox and Margaret Fell Get Stuck in a Lift’ by Alan Avery.
Martin Schweiger, of Roundhay Meeting in Leeds, tells Eye that the company, in putting on the play, had presented Friends with ‘a valuable gift.’
