Sister Mary Ignatius
Explains it All for You
& The Actors Nightmare
By Christopher Durang
Few playwrights have explored as relentlessly as Christopher Durang the pain and confusion of everyday life – or
made us laugh so uproariously at the results. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You, the center of a storm of
controversy for its satire of misplaced trust in religious authority, remains as powerful today as when it was originally
produced.
The Actor’s Nightmare
Having casually wandered onstage, George is informed that one of the actors has been in an accident and he must replace him
immediately. George seems to find himself in the middle of scenes from three different plays, fumbling through one missed cue
after another until the disconcerted George has lost all sense of contact with his reality.
Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You
Sister Mary Ignatius, a teaching nun who is much concerned within in all of its various forms, delivers a cautionary lecture to her
charges. But when several of her former students turn up, then picture darkens, along with Sister Mary's indignation. In the end
there is mayhem and anger but, with this, the unsettling feeling that amid the laughter, some devastating truths have been told.
