Once A Catholic by Mary O'Malley
"Once A Catholic" is a famous play that satirises Catholicism in a comic manner. It is set in an all girls' Catholic school in the late 1950's where three teenagers (all with the name "Mary") are beginning to ask questions about their faith. Brilliantly written by Irish playwright Mary O'Malley, the characters include hormonal adolescents, nutty and sometimes nasty nuns, an eccentric music teacher and a priest with a love of the lord and of liquor. It is a brilliant, satirical look at Catholicism in general.
