About

The fast-paced story of one man's journey from sinner to saint as he battles the Inquisition and the corruption of the Catholic Church.

Inigo (Ignatius of Loyola) begins as a hot-headed, street-fighting sensualist, in this action-packed play but due to serious injury in a sword-fight, he becomes disabled and has to spend time recovering and reassessing his dissolute life. This stage version of his life follows his transformation to become the co-founder of the Jesuits in the sixteenth century, battling the powers of the day and the Inquisition.

In Moore's bold, funny play, he asserts Inigo's position as a radical figure bent on changing the Catholic Church.

It is ideal for performing in schools, colleges and theatres.

Of special interest to schools and colleges, many of which are named after Inigo (Ignatius of Loyola). Inigo's spiritual tools for change have informed modern self-development programs such as the 12-step program for recovering drug and alcohol addicts.

As Pope Francis is a Jesuit, this is a timely exploration of one of history's major spiritual leaders and reformers.
