Wonders of a Godless World

Overview

An orphan, a witch, a virgin, an archangel, a duke and a devil. All is not as it seems in Wonders Of A Godless World.

Based on Andrew McGahan’s novel and adapted for the stage by director Shaun Charles, Wonders Of A Godless World takes place on an unnamed island, in a gothic hospital resting in the shadow of a volcano, where a mute orphan girl works, caring for the insane. After the arrival of a peculiar foreigner, strange phenomena and bizarre murders begin to take place and patients and inhabitants of the island are thrown into turmoil. What happens next is an extraordinary exploration of consciousness, reality and madness.

Wonders of a Godless World, performed by final year students of Griffith University, is a powerful and apocalyptic story that plunges those watching into a web of darkness and intrigue that goes to the farthest reaches of the universe and beyond.
