Agnes Of God

Vintage Theatre
1468 Dayton Street Aurora

The Tony Award-winning psychological drama Agnes of God tells the story of a novice nun who gives birth and insists that the dead child was the result of a virgin conception. A court-appointed psychiatrist is charged with the task of assessing the sanity of the young, beautiful Sister Agnes. However, Mother Superior seems bent on protecting Sister Agnes from the doctor as she searches to discover who fathered the child and who killed the baby. All three women are forced to face some harsh realities as they re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love. A hit on Broadway, the play was later adapted into the 1985 film starring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft and Meg Tilly. Now Aurora's Vintage Theatre brings it to their Black Box stage.
