This production subsequently went on National Tour including a run at the Traverse Theatre during the 2007 Edinburgh Festival where Linda Marlowe was nominated for The Stage Award for Acting Excellence.
Murder. Abduction. Rape. Incest. Disguise. Seduction. To a modern sensibility the tales of the Old Testament are wild and implausible. But re-told in a psychologically truthful light, one question is raised: where exactly does God fit in? Believe looks at the women who, seemingly forgotten by God and mankind, carved their names into history.
