About This Show

Nine years ago, Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world by resigning, the first Pope in 700 years to do so. What drove this archconservative to break with sacred tradition and make way for a former tango club bouncer and football-loving reformer with the common touch, to become Pope Francis?

A Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Anthology Theatre co-production in association with Tara Finney Productions.
