Show Info
By Catya McMullen
Directed by Jenna Worsham
With John Edgar Barker, Hiram Delgado, Mykal Monroe, Laura Ramadei, and Claire Siebers
Charlie's been missing, and his roommates have a lot of questions for him.
Trapped by a storm on the night of his mysterious return, they each discover how easy it is to miss the mark when it comes to the people you love.
With heart, humor, and a touch of the bizarre, AGNES explores vulnerability, our limited understanding of Asperger's, and how we strive for human connection, even when it seems impossible.

Reviews
"Tender, funny... an excursion into the depths of longing, examining the ties that bind too tightly and the connections that are dangerously frayed." -The New York Times, Critic's Pick
"Funny and revealingly earnest." - The New Yorker
"A thoroughly engaging production that shows McMullen to be a writer with a great ear for dialog and the ability to create quirky yet genuinely believable and appealing characters." - Talkin' Broadway
"Just the right balance of drama and humor." - Broadway World
"Compelling drama which moves from funny to touching on a dime... first-rate theater." - Berkshire Fine Arts
"The most impressive theater-piece yet, to take us on a whirlwind ride through the mind and heart of a person living with Autism but in a context of rich human relationships, ambitions, loves (and lusts), humor, and insight." - NY Theater Buying Guide
