Summary: Have you met the Sister yet?
Review: I had seen this play years ago when I was living in Austin, remembered it fondly, so I picked it up back in December while I was working on my own one-act play (which I have now finished and feel quite pleased with). Durang spears the Catholic faith without mercy, and this would be hard to watch if it also wasn't so funny. And while Catholics may have the most problem with some of this, other literal beliefs might be surprised to find themselves reflected in Sister Mary and her unwavering trust in herself. Since my play was a satire as well, I tried to take as much constructive evidence from this that I could use.The other play in this volume is okay. Clever enough, I think it would be more effective on stage. It could be that I could visualize Sister Mary having seen a production of it, while I came at An Actor's Nightmare cold.

Summary: If you want to offend every devout Catholic in America....
Review: If you think Sister Mary Ignatius is a fun, tongue-in-cheek romp through Catholic nostalgia - be aware it is not NUN SENSE or LATE NIGHT CATECHISM. It is anti-Catholic, insuluting to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and its few laughs end in tragedy. My 14 year old daughter felt the same as I did. It does make a thought-provoking statement about the effect Church teaching (in the wrong hands) can have on gays, lesbians and women, but the Christmas pageant shows contempt and irreverence for something sacred to millions of the world's Catholics. Anyone who produces this play on will not be able to avoid controversy. Definitely NOT for school production.
