Episode 5 of 5

Eve encounters her spiritual estate agent in a car crash. Tales inspired by medieval morality plays starring Rebecca Front.

Eve comes face to face with her Spiritual Estate Agent after her car crashes into a canal.

In a tale inspired by the medieval morality plays, Lin Coghlan takes a comic look at our attitude towards moderation.

In medieval times allegorical plays such as 'Mankind' and 'Everyman' were used to warn audiences that how they lived in the present would affect their afterlife - whether they would end up in Hell, Purgatory or Heaven.

But in a secular age how do we deal with the nature of sins and virtues? Our attitude to good and evil is certainly less black and white. Is it bad to be proud; don't we deserve respect? Can't anger be used to promote change for the better and isn't envy what drives our materialistic lifestyle?

The last of five tales exploring our attitudes to these questions through the character of 'Eve', a 21st century Everywoman, played by Rebecca Front.
