Mass Appeal
A play as topical as today’s media headlines! Mass Appeal is the story of a clash of ideology and personality between an older entrenched priest, Father Farley, who accommodates to survive, and a scorching young seminarian, Mark Dolson, who attacks to force salvation. Each in his own way uses his relationship to the congregation to heal personal scars.
Playwright Bill C. Davis draws
portraits of these two: the glad-hand, loud and rambunctious pastor and
the passionately radical young seminarian, and brings them together to
learn about each other and, in turn, themselves.
Fr.
Farley is instructed to turn his charge into a quieter and more
obedient replica of himself. As natural opponents in a teacher/pupil
situation, they enter a moral and psychological struggle. They lock
horns and, in a subtler sense, lock arms. They fight and squabble, tease
and enrage each other in a battle of wits and principles that is both
moving and at times wildly funny.
