VERE (FAITH)
A new play by John Doyle
For his much anticipated new play, playwright John Doyle
(The Pig Iron People) offers a powerful meditation on
science, spirituality and human frailty.
Paul Blackwell (When the Rain Stops Falling, Tartuffe, The
Ham Funeral) returns to STC as Vere, a physicist at the peak
of his career and still enthusing infectiously about his subject.
Out of the blue he is given a shattering prognosis and must rapidly
reconcile his professional ambitions and personal relationships
with the certainty of his own mortality.
One of the great debates of our times, God versus science, is
played out with Doyle's typical charisma and cheek. The play is
brimming with intellectual engagement, gallows humour
and wise, witty footnotes to culture.
Director Sarah Goodes (The Splinter) makes her Drama
Theatre debut with this thoughtful and topical new
Australian work.
