Synopsis: At an all-girls Catholic School in East New York, the students of Our Lady of Sorrows are staging an ambitious adaptation of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. As the actors debate the sins of Shakespeare's characters, they question the fundamental tenets of Catholic doctrine, as well as the Church's stance on sexuality, womanhood, and purity. A controversial draft of the play attracts the attention of the nuns and soon the production is in jeopardy. As the girls grapple with faith, love, and adolescence, they find themselves facing off against an oppressive institution.
Cast Size: 7 Females
The Virtuous Fall... is admirable in having likeable characters take unlikeable positions, as it is for presenting the sexual experience of some of the young women not as a plot point but as a given.-Thinking Theatre NYC Femia's characters exude wit and tenderness as they navigate the highs and lows of adolescence.-Theatre is Easy You don't have to be female, or Catholic, to relate to the adolescents in this sharp, funny new comedy.-Blog CriticsAlso from
