OGGIE! OGGIE! OGGIE!

A New Modern Solo Play based upon the Confessions of Saint Augustine

Written & Performed by Stephen Callaghan

It takes a touch of genius to summarize a complex theological text written 1600 years ago into an hour of spellbinding drama with a contemporary Scottish twist.[...]This is a show which will appeal to believers and non-believers alike.

“It was fabulous. I was gripped from the beginning to the end. It was so good. You were excellent. Thank you so much for this performance. Would definitely recommend it if anyone hasn't seen it yet. The sound and music were excellent too.”

“Superb interpretation of the life of St Augustine which made us laugh, feel sad and certainly made us think.”

“An extraordinary show. It managed to condense the 'Confessions of St Augustine' into an entertaining, informative, powerful hour and an amazing performance by the writer/actor above who both wrote and performed it.”

Augustine: Sinner to Saint

A play which brings the story of St Augustine’s conversion from a life of debauchery to sainthood is heading for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. Oggie! Oggie! Oggie! debuted at this year’s Lentfest and won rave reviews from audience members. Now the play will take its place at the world’s largest theatre festival with a tour of regional venues planned during the summer and subsequent touring planned, including performances for Secondary Schools.

The Archdiocese of Glasgow Arts Project production is going to the Edinburgh Fringe (C Venues Aurora) from 23rd-27th August. Tickets will soon be bookable at www.CtheArts.com

Oggie! Oggie! Oggie! is a modern, funny and moving, energetic twist on the Confessions of Saint Augustine, charting his dramatic conversion from a life of hedonism to become one of the most inspirational figures in Christian history. Written and performed by Stephen Callaghan.

Perhaps best-known for quotes such as “Lord, make me chaste…but not yet” and “Our hearts are restless until they rest in God”, the Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered both a literary and spiritual classic.

Glasgow playwright and performer, Stephen Callaghan (www.stephencallaghan.com) returns with this modern, punchy adaptation of the classic work, drawing a contemporary parallel without compromising the integrity of the original story of the sinner-turned-saint. Infused with his signature brand of Glasgow humour, the play follows the success of his previous Fringe productions, “The Margaret Sinclair Story” (2016) and his solo show, “The Pew With a View” (2018).
