Agnes of God

Agnes of God tells the story of a young novice nun who gives birth and insists the child who is found dead is the result of an immaculate conception. A court-appointed psychiatrist is sent to the convent to evaluate her sanity as the Mother Ruth tries to shield Agnes from the investigation. The question of who killed the infant and who fathered the baby force all three women to re-examine their faith. The play first opened on Broadway in 1982 and won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a play for Amanda Plummer, as Agnes.
