Padre X
Padré X is the amazing true story of Canadian WWII Captain John Weir Foote: the only chaplain to win the Victoria Cross during the Second World War – a story that, until now, has never been told. This multi award-winning play has moved audiences from coast to coast, with critics calling Marc A. Moir’s powerful performance ‘a pure triumph’, ‘electric’, and ‘the most compelling acting you’ll see this year’.
