Catherine Doherty is an enigma.
Foundress of Madonna House, recipient of the Order of Canada and numerous awards, Catherine Doherty confounds the society she strove to improve. She is considered a saint and a prophet by some; a tyrant and a fraud by others. In this play, Catherine challenges the audience to decide, for themselves, who she is.
A Woman in Love is a one-woman play written and performed by Cynthia Donnelly, based on the writings of Catherine Doherty. It is a 70 minute journey into the heart of this amazing woman. The play has toured Canada, Britain and the United States.
Reviews
“The play was a magical experience for me. I was moved to tears of laughter and sorrow as I gradually began to forget that I was in a theatre. It seemed as though I was face to face with Catherine... The play gave me a spiritual lift I haven’t experienced in a long time.” — Father John Catoir
