Gripping courtroom drama of a priest on trial for the murder of a nun he's fallen in love with.

A remote parish hidden deep within a forest in northern Michigan. A young nun's body is discovered early one morning. Thus begins the mysterious journey the audience will experience as the action alternates between interrogations and testimony in the courtroom (in the present - where the audience looks on as jurors) to instant unexpected flashbacks from the past, which will reveal that the priest.... Well, come see for yourself. The play fluctuates between moments of exquisite tenderness and delicacy that in a heartbeat become explosive and painful to watch. Based on a true-life 1911 trial, this is a thrilling murder mystery -- but much more than that: it's a drama about the mystery of faith.
