A short play about faith, families, and fitting in.

Tom and Marie, a couple in their sixties, have just made the move from London to a small village in the countryside. And everything's different out here.

Marie is getting involved with the church community, just to find her way into village life. But Tom is a committed atheist, and a bit of a hermit. He won't listen to reason. Until events intervene, and he discovers a faith that's stronger than anyone expected.

Tamara von Werthern's short play The Village Church is available in a volume with The White Bike.
