Show InfoThis farce by Tom Smith concerns two nuns who have been secretly making wine to keep their convent's doors open, but reporters Paul and Sally are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down.

Roles

RoleM/FAgeDescription
Mother SuperiorF50+Stern, commanding, and suspicious. She is unaware of the wine-making operation. She tries to maintain order amid growing paranoia and confusion.
Father ChenilleM50+Earnest and well-meaning priest who also fancies himself as a magician, even though he’s not very good at it. Often bewildered by the chaos around him. Adds to the confusion with his own misunderstandings and assumptions.
Sister AugustaF20-50Witty, resourceful, and a bit mischievous, and the brains of the winemaking operation.
Sister PhilomenaF20-50A quirky, slightly ditzy nun, who secretly helps make wine to support the convent. Odd but endearing and reluctant co-conspirator with a flair for comedic timing.
SallyF20-30Investigative reporter who goes undercover as a nun to expose the winemaking.
PaulM20-30Investigative reporter and former fiance to Sally. Goes undercover as a priest/nun/cardinal to expose the winemaking. Their romantic tension and sleuthing drive much of the plot’s momentum.
GeorgeM20-30Down-to-earth and observant caretaker at the convent. Often caught in the crossfire of mistaken identities and schemes. Adds a grounded, humorous contrast to the convent’s antics.
Sister Mary CatherineF20-30New to the convent, bubbly and innocent. Carries a secret that fuels much of the play’s chaos. Becomes increasingly unhinged as the farce unfolds.
