SIN, A CARDINAL DEPOSED Runs At Hayworth Theater Thru 4/2

By:

The Hayworth Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of Michael Murphy's 2005 Obie-nominated "Sin, A Cardinal Deposed," a concert production based entirely on the actual transcripts of the 2002 prosecution of the Boston Arch Diocese in the wake of accusations regarding priest sexual impropriety. Directing is multi Academy Award-nominated Paul Mazursky. The production premierd Thursday, February 26, continuing Thursdays only at 8pm until April 2.

In Suffolk Superior Court, lawyer Orson Krieger treads a fine line between respect and contempt as he relentlessly pursues answers from the elusive Cardinal Bernard Law, the Archbishop of Boston, for his failure to protect the victims of sexual abuse at the hands of priests in his archdiocese. Every question, every answer, every word of this play was taken from two hearings and one trial. All the characters are real.

The production features a critically acclaimed ensemble, including Bruce Davison (Close To Home, Knight Rider, The L Word, CSI Miami, The Practice, X-Men ), Gary Cole (Entourage,The West Wing, Desperate Housewives), Dan Lauria (Wonder Years, The Black Donnellys, The Bronx Is Burning, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Hamish Linklater (The New Adventures of Old Christine) and Wendie Mallick (Just Shoot Me).

"Sin, A Cardinal Deposed premieres Thursday, February 26 at 8pm. The production continues Thursdays only, until April 2. The Hayworth Theatre is located at 2509 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angele.
