This provocative drama explores the crossroads of Catholic faith and modern psychiatry. After the discovery of a dead infant in a young nun’s bedroom, a court appointed psychiatrist must unravel a web of lies to discover what truly happened. Dr. Livingstone, played by ensemble member Jacqueline Grandt, must navigate young Agnes’ delusions while contending with an overprotective Mother Superior, played by ensemble member Debra Rodkin. When Livingstone’s questions reveal past trauma, all three women must confront the foundations of their faith and the consequences of their actions.
