A nun, a psychiatrist, a novice, a dead baby in a trashcan, and Catholic Guilt. What else do you need?

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down it touched me so much, February 28, 1999

By A Customer

I read Agnes of God because I was doing a monologue from it for a drama exam and the night that I read the play I couldn't put it down. It's not a long read, but it really touched me. From the first page I was interested in each development of the plot and the characters. The imagery was haunting and even though it deals with many risque subjects, it's an essential read. Agnes of God is probably a play that has affected and moved me and one I'll never forget. Unfortunately I haven't seen a performance of it, but this I believe is truely one of the better plays out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply moving and thought-provoking piece., April 24, 1999

By A Customer

Good art should make a person think. "Agnes of God" leaves its readers, audience members and performers with questions that only they can answer for themselves. It leaves room for individual interpretation without feeling incomplete. This is a truly important piece of dramatic literature, not to be missed.
