Running from 21st June - 17th July, Sky Blue Theatre bring a comedic exploration of ceremonies, rites and religious beliefs to the stage, examining the lengths faith can take apparently normal people.

Everybody is looking for a sign, but with the monetary power and propaganda behind major religions are we left hallucinating?

Growing up in a devout Catholic household in Ireland, life has not been kind to Maurice and Louise, with an abusive mother and an absent father, the brother and sister begin to question the religion they have been indoctrinated into.

It is obvious, to Maurice at least, that a new religion is called for. Perhaps one that will allow him to perform miracles and heal the sick. He sets about creating one – With thousands of religions existing in the world, who’s to say this new religion isn’t the true one?

Sky Blue Theatre are champions of new writing, providing a platform for playwrights across the globe for the British Theatre Challenge which selects and performs 10 new plays each year from 300+ entries.

Formed in 2007, Sky Blue was founded by a small team of experienced actors, writers and directors and grown to a wider collective of collaborative artists. With faith healing, miracle bacon and flying saucer holy communion, That Catholic Thing asks, what is the true price of religion?
