This play is really made on stage, with the brilliant David Suchet playing Cardinal Giovanni Benelli, the man who could have been Pope had he not abstained from power and pressed the conclave to accept his friend Albino Luciani as Pope John Paul I. Suchet's Benelli wrestles with guilt as he tries to figure out what really happened during Pope John Paul I's brief reign, which ended after 33 days with the pontiff's death. Did he die of natural causes, or was he murdered? The results are inconclusive, but this play does provide an intriguing window into what is usually a secretive organization.

The Vatican, 1978: a little-known Cardinal from Venice is elected to succeed Pope Paul VI. A compromise candidate, he takes the name Pope John Paul I, and quickly shows himself to be the liberal the reactionaries within the Catholic Church most feared. Thirty-three days later he is dead. No official investigation is conducted, no autopsy is performed, and the Vatican's press release about the cause of death is found to be largely false. Premiered at the Chichester Festival in April 2007 starring David Suchet, this gripping thriller goes behind the scenes at the Vatican, uncovering the bitter rivalries, the political manoeuvrings and the unspoken crises of faith that surrounded the death of 'the Smiling Pope'.
