Lakewood, Ohio - The Beck Center for the Arts presents Agnes of God,
opening in the Studio Theater on April 9, 2004 and running through May
2. =20
Agnes of God involves a young nun who gives birth in a convent. The baby
is later found dead. Agnes remembers nothing about the conception,
pregnancy, birth or murder. The court has assigned a psychiatrist, Dr.
Livingstone, to investigate. Dr. Livingstone is determined to help
Agnes gain a stronger grasp on reality and uncover any wrongdoers. The
conflict between religion and science in this thoughtful melodrama spins
itself into a beautiful, yet terrifying tale. Agnes of God asks hard
questions about faith and gives no easy answers.=20
Seth Gordon, currently Director of New Play Development at the Cleveland
Playhouse directs Agnes of God at the Beck Center. He notes "Agnes of
God is many things - a Jane Fonda movie you vaguely remember, a
compelling character study, a moving story and a highly theatrical
mystery all at once. But the main question that it asks you to ask
yourself is, what happens to life in a world that no longer requires
faith? Is it truly possible to live one's life with every fact and event
being explainable? What are we giving up?"
This mysterious three woman play features Alicia Kahn, making her
Cleveland theatre debut as Agnes, Elizabeth Ann Townsend returning to
the Beck Center following Boy Gets Girl as Dr. Livingstone, and Sherrie
Britton as Mother Superior.
Agnes of God runs April 9 through May 2 and is sponsored by Cox
Communications and Lakewoodbuzz.com. Show times are Fridays and
Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. There will be no
performance on Sunday, April 11. (Real cigarette smoke will be used
during this production). For tickets call the Beck Center box office at
(216) 521-2540 or log onto www.beckcenter.org
<http://www.beckcenter.org/> . Tickets are $22 for adults, $19 for
seniors and $15 for students (25 & younger with ID). Discounts are
