A tragic climbing accident leads to a perverted sado-masochistic ritual practised by two catholic priests, one of whom is being hunted by two angels ordered to kill him, collect his blood, and bring him to heaven. Loosely based on the life of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Gerard's Blood is the last of a trilogy of plays by David Hovatter about the Jesuit Poet.
