In the wake of JFK’s assassination, Colm and Peggy, two best friends in the town of Cundannon hatch a plan – stage a protest and get a day off school to honour the fallen U.S. president. Sure, they got one when the Pope died?
Mortal Sin is a bold, heartfelt, and sharply witty exploration of what it means to grow up different in an Ireland where the Church controls everything from the classroom to confession.
Through rapid-fire monologues, character switches and flashes of fantasy, Colm and Peggy paint a vivid portrait of their world, from Sunday mass to Audrey Hepburn.
Blending satire, nostalgia, and righteous teenage frustration, Mortal Sin is ultimately a celebration of friendship – a small but defiant stand against the silence and shame that shaped a generation. Colm and Peggy stick it to the man… well, Sister Assumpta anyway.
