Review by Mona Z. Koppelman
What Agnes of God lacked in genuine
emotion, it tried to make up for in spit-and-polish
theatrics. Sometimes the
production succeeded, but more often,
failed. The play was presented to a full
house at Kimball Recital Hall Satur
day. Agnes of God by John Pielmeier spins
a doubting-Catholic yarn about a
naive nun who allegedly kills her own
baby, a less-than-elaborate cover-up
by the Mother Superior and an atheist
psychiatrist who vows .to get to the
bottom of this nasty business.
The court-appointed psychiatrist,
played by Susan Strasberg of TVs
Toma, is an ex-Catholic with a chip on
her shoulder. She lapsed into trite
soliloquies that were less revealing of
"Dr. Livingstone'' than they were of
Strasberg's inability to develop em
pathy for her character.

UNCEAN is a system

niaha campuses to var

Orvii Owe rj, LCLcocrdi
nator for the program,
described response to a
similar series in 1C33 as
tremendous.
Peggy Cass (familiar from game
shows To Tell the Truth and The Match
Game) played Mother Miriam Ruth in
her own belting barmaid baritone. Her
characterization worked, but only be
cause it didn't require much effort. A
Mother Superior and a psychiatrist
weren't really on stage: it was Cass in a
habit and Strasberg in a double-knit
suit.
Agnes was Agnes. A fine perform
ance by Lynn Chausow as the innocent
sister maintained a thread of sincerity
that frayed only during the last half of
the second act. Part of that was due to
a sermonizing script. And Chausow
may have just pooped out after a
strenuous first act. She worked hard in
the first act to maintain some chemis
try among the three characters. The
effort seemed to. take its toll on her
during the second act; she peaked too
soon.
