Benjamin Reilly presents...
JFK’S been shot and Colm and Peggy want a day off school. Sure, they got one when the Pope died?
Follow two best friends as they stage a protest to honour the slain U.S president. A bold, heartfelt and hilarious exploration of growing up different in an Ireland where the church controls everything from the classroom to confession. Mortal Sin is ultimately a celebration of friendship; a small but defiant stand against the shame that shaped a generation. Colm and Peggy stick it to the man… well, Sister Assumpta anyway!
Mortal Sin is the brainchild of actor and playwright Benjamin Reilly, bringing together actor Isolde Fenton, director Lee Coffey and producer Ineke Lavers.
