Mariette in Ecstasy is a play based on the 1991 best-seller by Ron Hansen, adapted by Christina Calvit and directed by Elise Kauzlaric. The world was in 2009 at Lifeline Theatre, Chicago.
Brenda Barrie plays Mariette, a young woman who joins a cloistered community of nuns, the Sisters of the Crucifixion, and then has what she feels is a divine encounter, throwing the convent into chaos. The other nuns must now deal with her experience. The story is about acceptance, envy, fear, faith. A wonderful story beautifully told.
