A Prayer for Owen Meany

A novel by John Irving
adapted by Simon Bent

I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice - not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother’s death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany.

ON FAITH
Irving’s modern American epic explodes onto the stage in a paradoxical challenge to memory, life, God and prayer.
