Mortal Sin is a two-hander play written and performed by Benjamin Reilly, with Isolde Fenton, set in November 1963 in the rural Irish village of Cundannon. Colm and Peggy, two teenage friends, protest for a day off school to mark the funeral of assassinated American president JFK, navigating growing up, dreams of escape, and the pervasive influence of the Catholic Church. Through rapid-fire monologues, character switches, and flashes of fantasy, the play blends satire, nostalgia, and teenage frustration to paint a portrait of 1960s Catholic Ireland. Directed by Lee Coffey, the production is part of Culture Ireland 2026 and marks Benjamin Reilly's Edinburgh Fringe debut.
