SIN: A Cardinal Deposed

Bailiwick Repertory’s production of SIN: A Cardinal Deposed comes to Boston. Since its world-premiere in Chicago in March, the show has received both audience and critical acclaim.

In the tradition of outstanding “docu-dramas” like The Laramie Project and Execution of Justice , Michael Murphy’s SIN is a collage of testimonies surrounding Cardinal Bernard F. Law – the Catholic leader whose governance of his diocese was questioned and scrutinized when years of sexual abuse by diocesan priests finally came to light. This searing and emotional work is comprised entirely of testimony taken from the Cardinal’s deposition in these cases; cases that still touch and continue to shape the lives of so many people of Boston.
