Agnes of God

The next show is coming soon to my new theater, Agnes of God.

Agnes is the story of a novice nun, Agnes, who gives birth but does not remember having the baby, does not believe she did have it and does not believe it was real. A psychiatrist, Dr. Martha Livingstone, and the mother superior of the convent clash during the resulting investigation. The play revolves solely around those three characters.

The story itself reminds me of a great book by my FAVORITE author, Jodi Picoult. Her book Plain Truth, is about a baby that appears on an Amish farm and the young, unmarried daughter is the only possible mother. The story unfolds through the legal counsel.

ANYWAY - you can get info on Agnes of God, and even buy tickets at our theater website www.genevaundergroundplayhouse.com. The show begins July 24 and runs though August 8 - with weekend performances. A friend of mine is directing - and although I haven't touched much to do with this performance - I'm confident it will be great.
