AGNES OF GOD
by John Pielmeier

At the Des Moines Social Club
Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a young novitiate accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, arousing Livingstone’s suspicions further. Who killed the infant and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love leading to a dramatic, compelling climax. A hit on Broadway and later on film. See what the New York Times has called an outstanding play that “deals intelligently with questions of religion and psychology” and what the New York Post has called “unquestionably blindingly theatrical.”
