Three people seek shelter inside a Catholic church one night, in The Sanctuary Lamp, a drama written and directed by Tom Murphy and performed at the Arcola Theatre. The play is presented by b*spoke theatre, described by The Guardian as one of Irish theatre's "proudest
possessions", making it an apt choice for a St Patrick's Day outing in London. Murphy first wrote The Sanctuary Lamp in 1975 and its premiere at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin caused enormous controversy for its anti-Catholic stance. It has undergone several revisions since then and its themes of redemption, love, guilt and spirituality now take the limelight. The cast of four includes Harry, the English-born Jew and ex-circus strongman, Francisco who along with Harry has been fired from the circus, Maudie a sixteen year old run away
waif and the Monsignor who presides over the church. Through their night of confinement all three go through a soul searching journey with each finding some kind of redemption at the end. Scenes singled out for praise include Harry's twenty minute speech delivered to the lamp, praying for the strength to kill
his wife and best friend.
