Thomas Sheridan - Penda's Fen and Pagan England - PART 1
Thomas Sheridan and Greg Moffitt discuss the film 'Penda's Fen' and related themes and topics. In 1974, the BBC broadcast the film 'Penda's Fen', leaving audiences mystified and spellbound. “Make no mistake. We had a major work of television last night,” The Times declared the next morning. Written by playwright and classicist David Rudkin and directed by Alan Clarke ('Scum', 'Made in Britain', 'The Firm'), 'Penda's Fen' follows Stephen, an 18 year-old boy, whose identity, sexuality, and suffocating nationalism unravels through a series of strange visions. Set in the village of Pinvin against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills, the film is an evocation of conflicting forces within England past and present, and most of all, its mystical, ancient pagan past. After its original broadcast, the film vanished into unseen mythic status, with only a single re-broadcast in 1990 sustaining its cult following. With a DVD release in 2016, 'Penda's Fen' has now become totemic for those interested in England's deep history, folklore, and landscape.
