The Atheist

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.
