by John Pielmeler

Psychology and religion intertwine in this moving moral drama that touches on how past traumas can affect present beliefs.

When Agnes is found with a dead newborn in her room and no answers as to what happened, a psychiatrist is sent to assess her mental competency to stand trial for the child’s murder.

The Mother Superior of the convent where the body was found stands in the Doctor’s way, making the investigation difficult.

As we learn more about Agnes and her past, relationships deepen, minds open and questions are asked...

Contains references to infanticide.

This amateur production of "Agnes Of God" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.
