...cause of Danny's distress is one Sister Meredith Louise, nee Meredith O'Connor (Marit Haahr), a former classmate from St. Patrick's Grammar School and the woman of his dreams. The seeming coincidence of their encounter is belied by Meredith's suspicious behavior, her intrusive questions (prepared beforehand on index cards) and her subsequent attempt to seduce Danny--actions ill-befitting a nun. Haahr is best when she play light-heartedly with her role, delightfully mixing sarcasm and naivete, seductiveness and innocence. Her dizzy ramblings and confused fumbling with her ever-present index cards are endearing...
...show has the quasi-official cooperation of the Roman Catholic Church: the English text is by Monsignor Michael Wrenn, special consultant for religious education to John Cardinal O'Connor. But it is also being marketed to Protestant denominations. To cover all bases, the program includes a statement from the Anti-Defamation League noting the history of anti-Semitism in passion plays and saluting the "message of tolerance" conveyed by the tour's U.S. packager, Radio City Music Hall Productions. The 58-member cast includes several agnostics and Muslims, according to Jean Marie Lamour, 29, who plays Christ. But, he adds...
...Ireland gave the world Van Morrison; in the '70s, Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats; in the '80s, U2 and Sinead O'Connor. Now there's Black 47.

And the new compilation Straight Outta Ireland -- whose title plays...
...clubs like Paddy Reilly's and Sin-e, also in New York, have & helped break in many of these new acts, giving them a supportive place to develop an audience. At Sin-e (which means "that's it"), Sinead O'Connor has been seen helping clean up. Black 47, which combines traditional Irish instruments such as the uilleann pipe (a bellows-blown bagpipe) with reggae beats and straight-ahead rock, spent several years being heckled at pubs in the Bronx and Queens before settling in at Reilly's. The band's seasoning is apparent on their debut album; with assurance...
...McNally's latest book, Until Your Heart Stops, is his first full length novel. But it won't be his first success: in 1990, McNally won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction for his collection of short stories, Low Flying Aircraft. Critics greeted his short stories with open arms. They all loved his "voice." A reviewer for San Francisco Chronicle described his "original language;" in The New York Times a critic gushed about his "stark, imaginistic prose...
