		It is thanks to the latter position that a 30-year three-way correspondence was born between Cockerell, the director who transformed Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum from a ramshackle regional collection into a national treasure house; Benedictine nun Laurentia McLachlan (1866-1953); and the celebrated Irish critic, playwright and socialist scourge of the establishment George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950).
		With the exception of one brief scene between Cockerell (Michael Pennington) and Dame Laurentia in which events are actually dramatized, the rest of the play is in reported speech -- in other words, dramatic limbo.
		Cockerell is a skeptic, Shaw a lapsed Christian, but over the years their friendship deepens as they argue genially with Dame Laurentia, who eventually becomes an abbess.

		The Cockerell cup is named after its last owner, the late Sir Christopher Cockerell, inventor of the hovercraft.
