Agnes of God (Carrie Fisher)

John Pielmeier’s taut psychological thriller 'Agnes of God' received an infusion of Hollywood and theatrical royalty when cultural icon Carrie Fisher stepped into the deeply challenging, emotionally raw title role of Sister Agnes during the production's acclaimed run and national engagements. The narrative centers on a disturbing mystery inside a convent: a naive young novice nun has given birth to a child who is subsequently found strangled, claiming a holy virgin birth and possessing zero memory of the event. Performing alongside Diahann Carroll as the court-appointed psychiatrist and Geraldine Page as the Mother Superior, Fisher brought an unforgettable, fragile intensity to this fierce ideological war between religious mysticism and medical science.
