New Zealand playwright and screenwriter Anthony McCarten, widely known for his hit film scripts (Bohemian Rhapsody, Darkest Hour, The Theory of Everything), delivers a brilliant and moving stage work that recounts one of the most astonishing moments in recent history: the resignation of Benedict XVI and the rise of Pope Francis. On stage, Giorgio Colangeli and Mariano Rigillo give voice to two profoundly different men, brought together by crisis and an unexpected friendship. Blending humor, conflict, and reflection, this is a play that speaks to both heart and conscience.
