THE SHEPHERD’S CALCULUS

January 16, 2020
6:30 pm
FREE EVENT – RSVP BELOW

The WB Yeats Society
Presents

The Shepherd’s Calculus

Written by C.S Farrelly

Join Origin Theatre Company and the W.B. Yeats Society for a 1st Irish Literary event featuring a discussion with best-selling author C.S. Farrelly and moderated by filmmaker and founder of Bridgebuilder Cinematic Arts Hollis Meminger. 

A fast-paced political thriller that expertly weaves three different stories into a collision of intrigue, C.S. Farrelly’s THE SHEPHERD’S CALCULUS examines what happens when the cornerstones of American identity—capitalism and religion—clash with its principals of justice. 

When journalist Peter Merrick is asked to write a eulogy for his mentor, Jesuit priest James Ingram, his biggest concern is doing right by the man. But when his routine research reveals disturbing ties to cases of abuse and clues to a shadowy deal that trades justice for political power, everything he believed about his friend is called into question. When the line between right and wrong is blurred, how do you act, and whom do you save?  

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Author C.S. Farrelly

C.S. Farrelly was raised in Wyoming and Pennsylvania. A graduate of Fordham University (BA, English), her eclectic career has spanned a Manhattan investment bank, the NYC Department of Education and, most recently, the British Government’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She was a 2015 Presidential Leadership Scholar and obtained a master’s degree from Trinity College Dublin, where she was a George J. Mitchell scholar. Her master’s research on immigration in contemporary Ireland has appeared in domestic and international academic journals and she has also freelanced for The Irish Echo newspaper.

As a playwright, her works have been staged in New York and Ireland. Exit or Transfer Here was staged by the Looking Glass Theater and another work, Arklow Blue, was produced by Turtle Shell Productions. Her most recent play, Relief, received a staged reading as part of New York’s annual 1st Irish Theatre Festival.

“Character-driven and fast-paced, The Shepherd’s Calculus by C.S. Farrelly is an explosive mystery thriller.” 

Foreword Reviews

“A commercial political thriller with well-developed characters and strong literary qualities.” 

Mystery Tribune

“Farrelly’s command of hot-button topics is impeccable.”
