It's a boring show. So unless they have some real star power, it's not worth producing.
I say:
Judi Dench - Mother Superior
Meryl Streep - Psychiatrist
Natalie Portman - Agnes
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 2/4/11 at 9:53pmI suggested a revival of this a year or so ago with Judi Dench and Marcia Gay Harden. I'd still love to see them in this piece.

Posted: 2/5/11 at 11:44amLinney as the psychiatrist would be just about perfect. I'd go with Cherry Jones as Mother Superior, and Allison Pill as Agnes.

Kiss it baby. Kiss it now!

Posted: 2/5/11 at 12:36pmSogourney Weaver as Mother Superior would also be fantastic.
#9Why no AGNES OF GOD revival on Broadway
Posted: 2/5/11 at 12:43pmI would see Weaver as the psychiatrist rather than Mother Superior.

Posted: 2/5/11 at 3:05pmI reread this play recently and if really doesn't hold up very well. I remembered it being a lot better than it was upon second reading. I don't think a revival would hold up very well. However I do agree that Roundabout will eventually get around it to, maybe with Sienna Miller, haha. Total joke!
#12Why no AGNES OF GOD revival on Broadway
Posted: 2/5/11 at 8:10pmMy dream cast would be Amy Morton as Martha Livingstone, Deanna Dunegan as Mother Superior and Jennifer Lawrence as Agnes. And the play isn't really dated at all - it holds up quite well and is the definition of a "well-made play".
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 2/5/11 at 11:14pmThe Sound of Music, Doubt, Nunsense, The Runner Stumbles, Mass Appeal and Sister Mary Ignatius pretty much cover the topic of Catholicism. Agnes of God really didn't add anything to the genre.

Just do EQUUS with drag queens. Same thing really.
Whatever happened to John Pielmier?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 2/6/11 at 1:53amHe wrote Boys of Winter and Sleight of Hand, both of which closed the week of their opening, I believe. I don't think he's done anything on Broadway since.
