A fast-paced comedy play featuring a cast of riotous nuns and one confused criminal.
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 hilarious new play from James Peake, writer behind last year’s Halloween special Ghost Off!.
Co-presented with Aberdeen Performing Arts.
