JFK’s been shot – and Colm and Peggy want a day off school. Sure, they got one when the pope died!?

"Following a sell-out and critically acclaimed debut run at Bewleys Café Theatre, Mortal Sin comes to The Viking.
In the wake of JFK’s assassination, Colm and Peggy, two best friends in the town of Cundannon hatch a plan - stage a protest and get a day off school to honour the fallen U.S. president. Sure, they got one when the Pope died?

Mortal Sin is a bold, heartfelt, and sharply witty exploration of what it means to grow up different in an Ireland where the Church controls everything from the classroom to confession.

Through rapid-fire monologues, character switches and flashes of fantasy, Colm and Peggy paint a vivid portrait of their world, from Sunday mass to Audrey Hepburn.

Blending satire, nostalgia, and righteous teenage frustration, Mortal Sin is ultimately a celebration of friendship - a small but defiant stand against the silence and shame that shaped a generation.

Colm and Peggy stick it to the man... well, Sister Assumpta anyway."
