Michael is the future pope. Before addressing the crowds from the central balcony of St. Peter's, he retires into the 'Room of Tears', the sacristy adjacent to the Sistine Chapel, accompanied by Cardinal Guido Falcone, camerlingo of the Vatican, and by the Master of Liturgical Ceremony, Cardinal Stefan von Harden, while the Swiss Guard are looking for Sofia, an accountant from the Vatican Bank.What secrets do Guido and Stefan share? Why is Sofia in hiding? What does Michael know and what does he suspect? Is he naïve or clear-sighted? Is he innocent or must he share the blame?A cliff-hanger which brings humour and emotion to its treatment of power, of betrayal, of responsibility, of love, of religion and of personal choice. A comedy that invites humanity to enter the house of God.Biography: Born in France in 1965, Franck Leprévost is a university professor, mathematician, polyglot, art-collector and nomad. In demand by the European Parliament, his reports have contributed to legislation in several European countries, notably the study, of which he is co-author, of the electronic surveillance network, Echelon, published ten years before the Snowden affair burst onto the scene.Translator: Christopher Cowell is a graduate in modern languages from the University of Cambridge and a professional theatre practitioner. His translations, particularly of opera, have appeared on a wide range of Britain's stages.
