Latest from Seán Walsh…

A note from Seán Walsh about his latest publication…

Seán Walsh writes: Just now published on 

ebook or paperback… Did I say book? More like a booklet… Two readers/actors, two mics. Can be performed on any platform – church, sanctuary, hall… in the round… 25 minutes, give or take… Plenty of time for discussion afterward…audience participation… In a series of scenes, Pilate and his trusted C O,  confer. Asides. How to subdue and dispel these troublesome Jews? Good Friday from a Roman perspective…

With a Forward by Fr Martin Hogan…

Strikes me that if this were brought to the attention of ACP members – indeed, priests everywhere – some of them might be spurred to run with it…A rehearsed reading… two scripts, two stands.

Brendan Hoban in the current edition of Studies gives an honest assessment of the current state of the Church in Ireland and says “that ongoing change is now a permanent reality for the Catholic Church”. Brendan also posits a possible way forward based on the reality of the situation but reminds us that by rejecting the reality of change we are “by extension, rejecting the possibility of reshaping a different church.”

    This is a powerful little play that approaches the Passion story from a very original and thought-provoking perspective. It would be an ideal stimulus for reflection on Jesus’ final journey if it were performed sometime during Holy Week.
    We are putting on this play here in the parish church of Saint Canice in Finglas Village on Wednesday of Holy Week, 27th March, at 7.30 pm. All are welcome.

      Thank you, Martin. But for your encouragement, the dramas I have written over the years against the backdrop of the first Good Friday might never have come to pass:
      At the Praetorium, Three for Calvary, Pilate Under Pressure 1, Conclave: Inside the Sanhedrin and (your favourite, I reckon) Veil… (All available on Amazon.com /Amazon.co.uk eBooks and paperbacks.)
