Mother, Superior combines stand-up, storytelling, and interactive game show as NYC comedian Michael John Ciszewski petitions the Vatican to make his living mother an immortal saint in exactly one hour. Performed in Edinburgh's Bedlam Theatre, the show sees Ciszewski plead his case before God, the Pope, and a live congregation. Beneath his comedic persona is a heartfelt coming-of-age story in which Ciszewski reclaims Catholic ritual for the queer community, unpacking a lifetime of millennial baggage from childhood punishments to adult interventions. The show honors the legacy of his mother, a frontline NYC nurse during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
