***SOLD OUT*** 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 St Boaby’s on the Knob. But are they as pious as they seem?
Why does Sister Mary Butter-Wouldn’t have a pair of handcuffs? Will Sister Woebegone let anyone get a word in edgeways? Will Sister Ontondra stay single? 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.
