Equivocation: A Video From the Playwright

Equivocation played at the Marin Theatre Company in 2010 and this clip from Father Bill Cain discussing his script is just lovely. 


"Some people have said Equivocation is a play about religion. Religion is certainly involved as part of the plot. But for me the act of DOING a play is the religious act. It's the gathering of a community around a story. And the story that we face is the almost invariably a story of holiness, it's a story of a journey to become the person that you are called to be. So I think theatre is religious by nature. Religion is part of the fabric of this play, but so is theatre, so is politics, so is family. It's a big play in that way."
