In the light of today's tension-laden renewal of religious activism around the world, this is a timely and acclaimed play from London's Soho Theatre, receiving its Canadian premiere here. Grace Friedman is a scientist and a public champion of atheism. To her profound dismay, her son Tom gives up his career as a lawyer to become a Christian and to seek ordination as a priest. Tom's girlfriend Ruth and his secular Jewish father Tony are caught in the middle of the resulting conflict; though not as mere bystanders, for in their different ways they represent possible solutions to the dilemma of how these sharp and painful differences might be managed even as they rage.
