The Monsignor and The Supernatural by Patrick McCabe

Continuing our Long Story Short series of reflective plays on Life in Lockdown, Patrick McCabe asks “Where did The Almighty go during this pandemic?”.

The Monsignor and The Supernatural explores the dialogue between the Secular present and the Catholic past in Ireland – ranging from confusion, rage and embarrassment back to a kind of longing.

“She went online. Where once whole villages stopped, as though frozen in time, with heavy curtains being drawn and a variety of sacred incantations repeated – now we type in ‘a true gent’ or ’R.I.P.’ on the Undertaker’s website – and that, more or less, – is that.”

In memoriam Peter Green, musician, late of Fleetwood Mac, Brendan Conroy stars in tonight’s Drama On One, The Monsignor and The Supernatural by Patrick McCabe.
