The Bishop and the BoysAn Irish priest and a female TV Talk Show “journalist” (carrying considerable personal baggage of their own) investigate a Bishop accused of molesting an altar boy fifteen years earlier and\or protecting pedophile priests in his Diocese. The obviously confused “victim”, his openly avaricious mother, and a steely cold psychiatrist complicate the matter as does the dreamily detached Bishop himself. The play confronts this explosive issue from these varying viewpoints; as the conflicting agendas of the Church, the Media, the Law, and the Health industry, obscure the truth beyond recovery. The tone of the play is, of course, ironic. |
