Room 514
Can a spiritually exhausted priest make a real difference in the lives of his working-class parish, while focusing on ritual and the promise of salvation?
Join us as we present the play, Racing Demon, by David Hare. The playwright offers strong positions on the topics of separation of church and state and the over-zealousness of members of the clergy and their efforts to balance ritual with a commitment to their parishioners. David Hare is one of Britain’s foremost playwrights; Racing Demon won him the Olivier Award for best play in 1990. Betsy Ungar will moderate and lead a discussion of the ethical issues raised.
Call Suzy Frazer at 212-874-5210, ext. 113, to register. Members: $10. Nonmembers: $15. Unless you have a season pass for the Adult Education events.
