    Black Box Productions at the Country Playhouse (voted through Houston Community Newspapers as Best Community Theatre of 2010) present Agnes of God by Joel Pielmeier, running from August 5 to 20, 2011 with Bonnie Hewett directing.

    When a dead newborn is discovered wrapped in bloody sheets in her wastebasket, delicate, enigmatic novice nun Sister Agnes is accused of giving birth to the child and strangling it. The young woman can’t explain the presence of the body in her room and appears to have neither a recollection of becoming pregnant, implying that it must have been the result of Immaculate Conception, nor the baby’s birth and death.

    A psychiatrist is engaged by the courts to determine whether Sister Agnes is fit to stand trial for murder. The doctor struggles with the lack of cooperation from her own organization and the convent’s Mother Superior during her search for the truth. And all three women are forced to re-examine their view on the meaning of faith and the power of love.

    "Unquestionably blindingly theatrical...cleverly executed blood and guts evening in the theatre."-New York Post
