Agnes of God

About this event

Agnes of God, written by John Pielmeier, presents a compelling exploration of how psychology and religion intersect within the human experience. The play examines the profound impact of past trauma on present beliefs and actions, offering audiences a thought-provoking examination of faith, mental health, and moral responsibility.

When Agnes, a young nun, is discovered with a deceased newborn in her convent room, a psychiatrist is tasked with determining her mental competency. As the investigation unfolds, the lines between psychological disorder, spiritual awakening, and criminal responsibility become increasingly blurred, creating a gripping dramatic tension that challenges viewers to consider complex questions about truth and belief.
