Boiling a Frog
Christopher Deans
This play is an adaptation of Christopher Brookmyre's novel of the same name. The title refers to the anecdote that if a frog is placed in boiling water it will jump out but if placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive any danger and die. The metaphor is used to draw attention to the activities and dogma of the Catholic Church as it pitted itself against politicians on section 28 and same sex marriages. In their attempt to gain the moral high ground they stopped at nothing – blackmail, child pornography and murder. Their plans backfire leaving some Catholics questioning their beliefs.
