The Wolves of Saint Matthew's
Faith didn’t pay the bills. The Euromillions did. West London priest Father Kit Breakwater was meant to save souls, not slip notes from the parish pot. But with bills mounting, a frozen church boiler, and a crippling gambling addiction, he’s been taking more than just confessions from his parishioners. Then one night, a £21 million lottery win changes everything - and Kit is thrust into a moral freefall. Should he use the winnings to put things right... or bury the truth forever? The Wolves of Saint Matthew’s is a sharp, darkly funny, and blisteringly contemporary one-man play about power, guilt, addiction, and faith in crisis. Expect rave anthems, gospel hymns, and a priest who’s one sermon away from total collapse. Blending pulpit and performance, beat drops and Bible verses, it’s Fleabag meets Breaking Bad - with a dog collar.
