AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Pope Emeritus John XXIX to Pope Pius XIII: Holiness, when I became pope, almost the first word the Curia taught me was ‘ricatto’. Blackmail. Think Agatha Christie in the Vatican. God, mammon, faith, ambition, corruption, sex, incense and Gregorian chant. Not to mention extraordinary revelations. And surprising deaths. The cardinals have secrets, and the walls have ears. And the audience is a fly on this most eternally concealed of walls! Electrifying intrigue by award-winning Australian playwright, Melvyn Morrow.'
