Well, this is interesting. I was online trying to find information to send to some friends so they could see Agnes of God this weekend. I saw it last Saturday, and I wanted to recommend it to them. This link came up. I usually don't read the City Paper, but since there are some comments here, I can't resist putting in my two cents.
Admittedly, I'm just your regular Joe Theater Goer. My wife and I love to attend local productions, and when we saw that The Father Ryan Arts Center was performing Agnes of God, we decided to go. Liked the movie, interested to see it on stage.
We thoroughly enjoyed this production. The only thing I can say is that it seemed like the two older actresses were having trouble with their lines. Couldn't tell if it was one or both of them, but the woman playing the Mother Superior seemed to keep cutting the doctor off. Some of it seemed planned,and when that happened it was great, but sometimes the doc couldn't get two words out before she got cut off. It was like the Mother Superior was reading the doc's mind, because I sure didn't know what she was going to ask! None of the other women did this, so I don't think it was planned. It seemed like it might have been a case of nerves.
Now, I'm splitting hairs. The overall show was really powerful. When we saw the Mother Superior's memories,(Well I guess it was the doc's memory of the memories) Agnes looked like an angel. It was really moving. My wife cried, and I came close.
I'm sure they'll have their lines down by this week. I'm sure my friends will love it. Like I said, just my two cents.
