I, Lord

“Atheists like you are everything that’s wrong with religion.”

Evie can’t pray. Ayeza can’t stop praying. Priya doesn’t want to pray – or at least, that’s what she tells everyone. Will you take this time to pray, or will you let your mind wander?

Response Ability Theatre brings its uncompromisingly compassionate lyricism into I, Lord, inviting you to attend mass through the mind of a survivor of spiritual abuse.

Inspired by writer Nell Hardy’s experiences within the Church of England, and informed by survivors from other and no faiths, the show explores what makes us put up with mistreatment within faith settings, what prevents those outside of faith settings from creating safety for survivors, and how we can follow our own callings in a world that needs us to take sides.
