The Americas, A Theatre Company Presents: Amongst the Living

The Americas presents an intimate showcase of developmental work entitled AMONGST THE LIVING.

Featuring Agnes of God, Right Now and No Exit, these three distinct yet thematically resonant plays examine the desperate human need for meaning - whether in divinity, identity, or the judgement of others. 

An excerpt from the film Agnes of God by John Pielmeier, is a powerful meditation on faith, trauma, and the search for truth. It explores the collision between reason and belief, science and the sacred. In an intimate chamber of doubt and conviction, three women confront the mysteries of suffering, sanctity and the unknowable.

Right Now by Ruby Jenson offers a glimpse into true sisterhood between Jill and Jenny. It is a love story that refuses to whisper. Right Now continues to ask who are we when tasked with facing the world alone.  

No Exit is an existential classic by playwright Jean-Paul Sartre, adapted & abridged by Ruby Jenson. We see a tense, unrelenting examination of self, otherness, and the inescapable gaze of judgement. No Exit traps its characters - and its audience - in a psychological crucible where truth, identity and damnation are laid bare. Hell, it turns out, is not fire and brimstone… but other people.
