BWW Review: SHROUD, Playground Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 23, 2022
We never go too long without learning new details of the heinous crimes committed by the Catholic Church. Just earlier this year, Pope Emeritus Joseph Ratzinger apologised for turning a blind eye to clerical pedophelia back when he was Archbishop of the dioceses of Munich and Freising. He’s not the first and won’t be the last ecclesiastical figure to admit something of the likes. It’s a widespread issue and the perpetrators keep eluding the law, with the clergy opting to punish their own with a slight slap on the hand and a different faraway parish where they can save more innocent souls. It’s not enough to diligently recite “mea culpa, mea maxima culpa” when centuries of abuse keep going without consequences.

SHROUD Comes to the Playground Theatre in March
by Stephi Wild - Feb 7, 2022
The still uninterrogated crimes of some members of the Catholic Church in Ireland is a constant source of pain and betrayal to many citizens. The absence of an unambiguous confession and apology from the hierarchy is a further source of hurt. What would that even look like? Although from time to time the issues roar loudly in our faces, they are still mostly swept aside by a power structure whose inner workings, practices and real attitudes we can never know. But we can imagine.
