INCORRUPTIBLE
Written by Michael Hollinger and directed by Keeley Stanley-Bohn
September 8 thru September 11, 2010
The monks are in a funk. The bones of their patron St. Foy haven't produced a miracle in thirteen years.
As a result, the pilgrims have stopped coming and the money has stopped flowing. They can hardly feed and
clothe themselves, let alone help the villagers in need. When they discover that the bones of St. Foy have been
stolen by a rival monastery in Bernay and the bones are now working miracles, the monks become desperate and
susceptible to the schemes of a wandering minstrel. In their desperation the monks turn to large scale marketing
with a mail order bones business. Presperity abounds, but the going gets tough when they have to produce an
"incorruptible," that is, a body of a saint that resists decay. Throughout the farce, Hollinger sprinkles memorable
one-liners and plenty of rollicking actions as he explores the age old question, "Do the ends justify the means?"
