VGCC Drama returns to the stage this fall with “Agnes of God,” the award-winning play by John Pielmeier. Vance-Granville students Saylor Gray, JayAnn Gupton, and KB Wiggs make up the all-female cast tackling this gripping story.
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, determinedly 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.
