Winner of the Berkshire Theatre Critics Association awards for 2024 Outstanding New Play and Outstanding Solo Performance, Unreconciled is the true story of an adolescent actor cast as Jesus in a Catholic school play directed by a parish priest. Majestic regular Jay Sefton (A Moon for the Misbegotten, The Ladyslipper, Outside Mullingar, Million Dollar Quartet) takes us on a magic carpet ride through parental love and bewilderment during difficult times in this moving portrait of working class life in a whiskey-drenched, sports-crazed suburb of Philadelphia in 1980s.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette writes: “Sefton put on an acting clinic. It all added up to one of the most amazing pieces of acting I’ve ever seen. It was also funny as hell and very moving.” This award-winning show is currently performing in theatres across the country and will tour Ireland this fall.
Please note: This play contains adult language and themes that support survivors of childhood sexual abuse. There will be talk-back discussions following each show.
