    y separately published work icon The World Turned Upside Down : A Modern Morality Play Clive Sansom , London : Frederick Muller , 1948 Z860776 1948 single work drama The play considers the impact of the birth and teachings of Christ on traditional government, educational, scientific and religious practices, and celebrates the power of goodness, beauty and truth. 'This play is quite unlike any other that has been based on the Christmas story. Through it the author suggests a remedy for our present inverted world - the marriage of Religion and Science, from which a new faith might be born or an old one revived. But though the theme is serious, the treatment of it is dramatic and often humorous'. London : Frederick Muller , 1948 pg. 39-41
    Note: In this work the three kings (Truth, Wisdom and Imagination) speak separate sections of the poem.
