New Directors Festival: The Convent

Boston Conservatory at Berklee musical theater senior Maeve Reilly directs The Convent by Jessica Dickey. A dark comedy about desire, devotion, and the deep truths of one's life, The Convent follows the story of a group of women go on a retreat to live like nuns in the Middle Ages and are baptized with 1980s pop, female mysticism, hallucinogens, and sex.
