Benedetta
Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, VancouverAs the author of a serious biography of Jesus, Paul Verhoeven is ideally placed to tackle the true story of Benedetta Carlini, a 17th century Italian nun revered as a mystic and persecuted for engaging in a lesbian affair with another member of her convent. Is she a power-hungry fraud, or has she been touched by God, as she claims?
