Here’s something different from the usual summer fluff – John Pilemeier’s dramatic Agnes of God now running at Country Playhouse. This 1982 spiritual thriller pits science against religion in a heady battle fought between a stern Catholic mother superior and a whip-smart psychiatrist who’s got her own Catholic ax to grind. Between these two heavy-hitters is Agnes, a young novice who’s accused of infanticide when a newborn is found strangled in the trash can of her room. To make matters even more messy, she can’t remember a thing, and there is the implication that Agnes may have been a virgin mother. By Act II, the play gets down to the gritty truth about the psychiatrist and the Mother Superior, who has her own secrets. And through it all, questions about the value of spirituality and science fly across the stage with a power not usually seen in summer theater. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. August 14. Through August 20. 12802 Queensbury. For information, call 713-467-4497 or visit www.countryplayhouse.org. $12 to $20.
Fridays, Saturdays. Starts: Aug. 5. Continues through Aug. 27, 2011
