Nun The Wiser
Performances: Thursday 30th Sep 2010 at 8.00pm.
Ticket Prices: £12 & £10 (concession) Venue: Studio Theatre This is the true story of Triona Adams, a theatrical agent who swapped premieres for prayers. Giving up a glitzy showbiz career she attempted to make it as a nun in an enclosed Benedictine convent with only Spam Fritters and repeats of ‘Dad's Army’ for salvation. It turned out she was not a natural. A year later she left - wiser, slimmer, but with really bad hair.
Sister Triona recounts the bittersweet, comic story of a modern, emancipated woman answering 'The Call' and reveals what really goes on beneath the habit. Her story was first heard as a BBC Radio 4 afternoon play, which aired as ‘The Lemon Squeezer’.
‘Well observed and funny, its community of elderly eccentrics is fondly brought to life.’ - The Scotsman
