KATE CRAWFORD MOSMAN DAILY APRIL 06, 2015
A FORMER Riverview teacher has written a disturbing play about sexual abuse at a Catholic boys’ school.
Playwright Melvyn Morrow of Mosman says the play has proved “tragically timely’’ in the light of the exposure recently of allegations that a former teacher at Riverview abused a boy more than 30 years ago.
Riverview principal Paul Hine contacted about 6500 former students after the allegation emerged, asking them to come forward if they knew of any similar allegations.
Morrow admits some audience members could be outraged by his play, Vice, which challenges assumptions about sexual abuse in schools.
It opens at the King Street Theatre in Newtown on April 21.
