Sin (A Cardinal Deposed)
by Michael Murphy

"Received of a 2005 Obie Award Special Citation. “SIN looks at the scandalous child sex-abuse crimes that sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church. In his stark treatment, Michael Murphy studiously avoids graphic accounts of creepy priests diddling altar boys. His stunning revelations are presented by contrasting depositions given by Cardinal Law with statements of young victims and their families.” —Variety. ”Murphy's quietly disturbing play…reveals with devastating clarity the dubious role that Cardinal Law played in a tragedy that irreparably damaged hundred of families and destroyed more than a few lives.“ —The New York Times. ”SIN touches our whole culture. The corporate enveloping of self by those at the top, without regard for anyone or anything but their own comfort and their own deniability, is the besetting sin of our time.“ —Village Voice. ”Ninety minutes of compelling, often unnerving theater."
