Francis' is a celebration in music and drama of a moment in the life of Francis, the poor man of Assisi. It is designed to be learned and acted, with the minimum of props in a very short space of time. It can be performed in churches, schools, anywhere, by trained or untrained voices, or a mixture of the two. A retelling of the story of Francis's mission to rebuild, reform and restore the church through calling people to enjoy the love and peace of Christ; to be Church". The libretto by John Watson and musical score by the late Alan Ridout will appeal to performers and audiences alike.
