A new play about the Jesuit priest, poet and martyr St Robert Southwell SJ will receive its world premiere in London this November. Shakespeare’s Cousin, written and directed by Jonathan Moore, explores Southwell’s interrogation by the notorious Elizabethan priest-hunter Sir Richard Topcliffe, examining themes of religious persecution, artistic freedom and the courage to remain faithful to one’s convictions. The play runs @WhiteBearTheatr in Kennington from 10–28 November. Ahead of the premiere, the London Jesuit Centre will host a free panel discussion exploring Southwell’s legacy on Sunday 1 November at 3pm. Find out more: jesuit.org.uk/news/new-play-…

This Prisoners’ Sunday, we are highlighting the transformative work of the Jesuit Institute’s Prison Project, which is helping people in prison rediscover faith, find hope and recognise their inherent dignity. Through Ignatian retreats and spiritual accompaniment at prisons across Britain, participants are being offered opportunities for prayer, reflection and personal transformation. As one prisoner at HMP Featherstone reflected: “With the love of God and a little faith, we can all be repaired.” The Prison Project is offered free of charge to prison chaplaincies and relies on donations to continue its work. Read more about the impact of the project and find out how you can help bring renewed faith and hope to more people in prison. jesuit.org.uk/news/prisoners…
