Forgive Me Father - New Writing Development Week 2021
The New Theatre
Secrets, Betrayal and Altar Wine. As the school year comes to an end, Peter and Michael are thinking about the important things in life; the football final, how to steal their cigarettes back from Mr McDonagh and their lives once they leave.
But they have a secret that could destroy them. When Peggy arrives at their all-boys school-jealousy strikes and the boys get sloppy.
What will happen if their secret gets exposed?
