Mary, our heavenly mother always leads us to her son, Jesus. In 1917 she visited three children in the small town of Fatima, Portugal, to share with them the message of salvation for the world. 'Fatima - The Play' is aimed at engaging young people to experience excitement in learning about their faith through the stories of ordinary children at an extraordinary time. Not all can make a pilgrimage to Fatima or Lourdes, but many Schools and Parish Groups will be able to simulate the wonders of the Apparitions of Fatima for their Communities with some help from the new Technagers!!
The play provides an accessible vehicle to share and understand this hundred-year-old story using a modern scene transposed over the traditional story. The structure and language of the play engages the students and provides a powerful introduction for further discussion and investigation. -- Judy Spence, Principal, Holy Trinity School, Curtin, ACT
Bev Cains' Fatima play is an impressive re-enactment of an interior story. It dramatises the religious faith of three children, which is tested by the scepticism of others until it is finally shown to illuminate the darkness of their time - and now of our time as well, in this centenary year of the apparitions of Our Lady. The play will engage the interest of upper primary school children in particular. Not only are the main characters appealing in their spiritual openness to the message of Fatima, but the structure of the play provides many scenes for audience participation. It deserves to be performed widely. -- Karl Schmude, Campion College
Children tend to be open and interested in the supernatural and the Fatima Play helps children to explore this realm. Mary our good mother is always leading us to her son Jesus, which is the reason of her visit to the three little shepherds at Fatima last century. Her message remains the same today - follow Jesus and pray. The play delivers Mary's message in a way children can enjoy as they participate. They will sense they are part of something important which is much bigger than themselves. Many people aren't aware of Our Lady's visits to her children - the Fatima Play shares the story in a way we can all appreciate and learn.
-- Anne Hartwell, Mothers Prayers Australia Coordinator
'Fatima - The Play' written by Beverley Cains is an excellent example of how to employ the art of theatre in the propagation of the message from Fatima. -- Fr. Damian Mosakowski, osppe, Rector of the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy - Penrose Park
