Hilarious for Catholic-school veterans of a certain age
4 stars
Very much as I remember the two plays from seeing them on stage in the '80s. I do wonder how much of the humor in Sr Mary Ignatius would work for someone who was not raised Catholic or who was much younger than Durang (or me). The 1995 edition includes performance/directing/casting notes from the playwright that are extremely interesting in their own right.
