About this ebook
Travelling from America to Britain to a remote Greek island, The Faith Machine explores the relationship between faith and capitalism and asks fundamental questions about the true meaning of love.
On a beautiful September morning in New York, Sophie forces Tom into a decision. The choice he makes, and the events of that day, will change their lives for ever.
The Faith Machine premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in August 2011.
'an urgent play that has the courage to address big issues' Guardian
'a welcome, brave and searching piece of drama.' Financial Times
'blessed with a palpable generosity of spirit and many moments of sly humour' Telegraph
