There's a moment in playwright Matthew Lombardo's play HIGH when Father Delpapp asks the coarse and tough-demeanored Sister Connelly why she became a nun. Her answer is telling, because it's not the typical selfless response you might expect; she's seeking redemption and forgiveness for her transgressions in life. It's something each of the three characters in this story is looking for in their lives, and it acts to make each of them seem all the more human and flawed. The world premiere of this brave new work continues its trek toward Broadway with a run in St. Louis, and this presentation by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is a dark and unsettling triumph, powered by bravura performances and sharp, incisive direction.
