About this audiobook

In this contemporary murder mystery, set within the confines of a convent, Agnes is a devout, innocent young nun accused of infanticide. As a psychiatrist, herself a lapsed Catholic, and the Mother Superior struggle over Agnes' fate, the play plunges deeply into the mystery of faith and the consequence of truth.

Includes an interview with Dr. Kevin Orlin Johnson, author of "Why Do Catholics Do That.”

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Barbara Bain, Emily Bergl and Harriet Harris.

    The fascinating confrontation between unbroken faith and atheism; a battle of beliefs which will leave you wanting more.

    An 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.

    This 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.
