In Barrera’s play, which she is also directing, three chancery workers are following the goings-on in Rome from YouTube when they realize the cardinal they work for is a top contender for pope. Out of nowhere, a stranger appears with “nothing but glorious things to say” about the dearly departed, says Starkes.
