Adam's girlfriend, Christina, is dying. He knew she was dying when he met her at a faith healing where they were paired together to pray for each other. Read more …
A reporter, he attended the healing under false pretenses and his faithless prayers were hollow. Months on, he loves this woman whose body is failing but still hasn't told her of his deceit. He is convinced that he let the devil in that day and now the devil is following him.
For nine-tenths of its length, Frances Poet’s new play for three voices is about as perfect a show as you could hope to see, in the lunchtime Play, Pie and Pint season.
It comes across as over-convoluted at times, and the gallows humour in the show doesn't always hit the mark. That said, the three-strong cast all turn in fine performances that are gripping and emotionally engaging.
A Play, a Pie and a Pint, Glasgow from Monday October 15, 2012, until Saturday October 20, 2012. More info: http://playpiepint.com
