Once a Catholic
Once A Catholic by Mary O'Malley follows the lives of young girls at a strict Catholic convent school in London. The play humorously explores their struggles with faith, sexuality, and the Church’s rules, highlighting the contradictions they face during adolescence. It focuses on several characters named "Mary," each dealing with their own desires and challenges within the confines of the convent's rigid expectations.
This play includes swearing, outdated language, and scenes involving sexual content and abuse, making it potentially unsuitable for individuals under 16. The views and expressions presented in the play are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the ECHO Players.
