Murder. Seduction. Torture. Decapitation, Infanticide. Rape. To a modern sensibility the tales of the Old Testament are wild and implausible. But recast these stories in a psychologically truthful light, or in a totally contemporary re-imagining, and what you have are stories that are shocking, even by today's sensationalist tabloid standards. Believe looks at the fascinating, tormenting and tormented, seducing and seduced, enraged and fearful, meek and impassioned women who, seemingly forgotten by God and mankind, have carved their names into history. Looking at the possible circumstances of these women's lives questions are raised that seem more pertinent now than ever. What does if mean to have faith? If God exists, what is He like? Is He or She or It something outside of us, or a force within us all? And just where does God fit in to our lives NOW? Performance length: Approximately 2 hours.
