100 years hence in a fundamentalist society, Jacob Bergson is thrown into a musty prison, accused of writing The Believer’s Diary—a book that is sparking a revolution. He maintains his innocence, as his cellmate provokes him, the powers that be threaten, and a young, sad guard tries to figure him out. Prayer will challenge your ideas about the nature of morality through one man’s search for justice and redemption. Prayer played to sold-out houses at the 2008 New York City Fringe festival. This will be its first full scale production.
*Jonathan’s play, The Beast in My Pants, was featured as a part of Nouveau 47’s inaugural New Works/New Voices Festival,
