Sean Walsh

Conclave – First Review.

Here is a play that while set in the context of the

passion of Jesus belongs to any and every age. A

group of men used to power work to ensure that

they remain in power and that an individual

who threatens their power is eliminated.

They are so committed to their own version of the

truth that they will stop at nothing to suppress

any challenge to their truth.

The one member of  their group who raises

the possibility that this

Jesus of Nazareth may be revealing a more

disturbing version of truth is dismissed out of

hand.

Yet in spite of all the clever maneuverings

the play suggests that, in the end, God’s truth

will out. The death of Jesus is not the end of the

matter after all.

Sean Walsh’s writing is pruned

back to the essentials which heightens the sense

of drama and ensures that the reader is carried

along by the flow of the marvelous dialogue. A

wonderful addition to this playwright’s

portfolio.
