  On The Third Day @ New Ambassadors Theatre, London : theatre review
The play follows what happens when Claire (Maxine Peake) meets, and falls for, an environmental health officer, Mike, who claims to be Jesus.
Maxine Peake is excellent as the vulnerable, traumatised Claire, and acts her socks off within the confines of the cliché-riddled script, bringing real emotion and depth to Betts' writing.
Her performance is poignant and deeply affecting, as she tries to exorcise the demons from her relationship with Robbie, her brother, played by Tom McKay, who also excels as the tormented and confused young man.

 Faith - Cast Profiles & Interviews Maxine Peake
Maxine: Yeah, and I think that, although Faith was a great drama, it only touched really, on the real hardship that went on, and I'd love there to be a drama that is based on what people really went through.
Maxine: I wish it had been more political, but I just wanted to be a part of something that was at least having a go at telling something of the injustice that went on in the strike.
Maxine: Well, from what I've read… but it's a difficult one to pass any judgement until I've sat down and talked about it with the directors, but I think I'm erring towards believing that she was quite an impressionable woman.
