The Heretic is a play by Morris West, written in 1970 and composed in blank verse.[1]
West expressed his perspective on theater by stating, “Theatre is a win, lose or draw business," said West. "I knew that this was what I wanted to do and this was the way I wanted to do it. Having done it then I knew something would make it possible.” [2]
The play was published in 1970 and performed in London the same year.[3]
The Heretic was revived in a 1985 production at the Sydney Opera House's Playhouse.[4]
The play was adapted for radio in 1972.[5]
