PPP Nun of Your Business
Written by James Peake Directed by Laila Noble
As the saying goes, if the wimple fits, wear it.
A petty thief is discovered in nothing but a habit and taken in by the sisters of Oor Ladies of Dour Clare’s. But are they as pious as they seem? Why does Sister Mary have a pair of handcuffs? Will Sister Ontondra stay single? Will Sister Woebegone let anyone get a word in edgeways?
As the young criminal discovers, these Sisters are doing it for themselves!
Nun of Your Business is a fast-paced comedy play featuring a cast of riotous nuns and one confused criminal.
Co-presented with A Play, A Pie and A Pint.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 1pm: £13.50; Thursday 6pm, Friday, Saturday: £14.50
