Agnes of God at Westport Community Theatre

AGNES OF GOD is a 1979 drama by American playwright John Pielmeier which tells the story of a novice nun who gives birth but does not believe she has. After the child is found dead, a psychiatrist and the mother superior of the convent clash during the resulting investigation. 

Stratford’s Square One Theatre Company and the Westport Community Theatre join forces in presenting Square One’s celebrated 2023 production of the play, reimagined for the Westport stage and offering a taut and compelling revival of the Broadway classic. The cast of AGNES OF GOD features Lucy Babbitt (Stratford), Céline Francesca Montaudy (Norwalk) and Priscilla Squiers (Danbury), directed by Stratford’s Tom Holehan.

The Connecticut Critics Circle hailed this production of AGNES OF GOD with: “Fasten your seat belts for a wildly dramatic ride that will expose you to what theater is capable of presenting!”
