    Jude can’t pray. In fact, every time she tries to pray, she blacks-out and wakes up masturbating. But when her mother falls ill, everything gets slightly less funny, no less absurd and a lot more complicated. Combining punk theatricality with dry humour and a deeply human focus, I Can’t Pray is a unique and exciting piece of new writing by Laurie Ward. Previous praise for Laurie’s writing include: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟‘incredibly emotive’ - Three Weeks / 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ‘genuine originality…daring’ - Varsity.
