'We're children of God, sister. No hunk of metal could replace any
one of us.' Behind the crumbling walls of St Grace's Convent, an
exhausted order of nuns needs resurrecting. As Easter approaches,
Mother Elizabeth has just the thing. Behold 'Mary', a
council-funded robot. Practical and surprisingly funny, for some a
blessing, for others a curse – could she be the revelation they
have all been praying for? Electric Rosary is a sharp, timely and
gloriously funny play by Tim Foley, asking what faith really means
in the age of artificial intelligence and what it is to be human in
tomorrow's world. It was a Judges' Award winner in the Bruntwood
Prize for Playwriting, and premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre,
Manchester, in 2022.
