John Pielmeier's provocative drama, a gripping and dynamic showcase for
three strong actors, was a hit on Broadway and on film.
Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed
psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice accused
of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, keeps young
Agnes from the doctor, further arousing Livingstone’s suspicions. Who
killed the infant, and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s
questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and
the power of love, leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.
