Directed By: Navin Ramaswaran
Starring: Lora Burke, Robert Notman, and Will Conlon
Written By: J. Gordon Ross
Put simply, an unreliable narrator is a storyteller whose trustworthiness is questionable. An audience following a tale created by a compromised character is left unbalanced and questioning almost everything they see. POOR AGNES is told from the point of view of a delusional young woman (Burke) who has a less than firm grip on reality. She is vicious and cruel but oddly poetic in her personal philosophy.
