Vatican Falls

Based on factual accounts, spanning decades and set against the backdrop of the continuously swelling Catholic sex abuse scandal, Vatican Falls is a sweeping multi-genre work that follows survivor journeys examining the feelings of shame and confusion that ultimately turn to anger and revenge. This fast-paced, non-linear suspense-thriller jets from Boston to Rome to New York to Los Angeles as our radicalized protagonist falls in love with a Vatican operative and, along with his Fellowship, plots vengeance on the institutional power players that allowed the rape and torture of countless children and young adults.

The play features three prominent LGBTQ+ characters including the fellowship leader, Vi, whose desire for retribution fuels the group.
