Name in Vain (Decalogue Two) at Tarragon Theatre

A monk, in a fit of rage, breaks both his vow of silence and the Second Commandment. His curse throws his monastic brotherhood into an upheaval that tests the strength of their faith.

André Alexis plans to write a play for each of the Ten Commandments (the Decalogue), each exploring a different aspect of theatre. André is also a novelist and short-story writer. His debut novel Childhood won the Books in Canada First Novel Award and was a co-winner of the Trillium Award.
