In The Atheist, Augustine, a crooked journalist with nihilistic intentions, has made an art of clawing his way up the professional ladder. When he unveils the mayor's tawdry predilections (involving a hidden camera and reams of videotape), the scandal threatens to backfire. A 2004 Huntington Playwriting Fellow, Ronan Noone continues his focus on the American experience, which began with last year's Breaking Ground play, Smiler Becoming Yank.

Part of the Breaking Ground Festival of play readings.
