- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The fascinating confrontation between unbroken faith and atheism; a battle of beliefs which will leave you wanting more.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An audio production of the play. When a baby is found strangled with its own umbilical cord in the room of Agnes a young nun at a local convent, a psychiatrist who is also a lapsed Catholic, is called in to determine whether Agnes is criminally responsible. As the psychiatrist interviews both the Mother Superior and Agnes repeatedly to get to the bottom of what happened that night she will be forced to grapple with issues of faith and the possibility of miracles.All three actresses in this production are powerhouses and make all of the emotions palpable to the listener. Compelling not only as a mystery but as a character study.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a very powerful play about the clash between fact and faith. Dr. Martha Livingstone is a court appointed psychiatrist sent to discover what happend when an infant born to a young nun is found strangled. Her examination of Sister Agnes and conversations with Mother Miriam spark a debate on miracles and the art of what is possible with faith.
