Sister Petra and Sister Brenda have grown up in St Elmo'sConvent in Dingle as identical twins but Monsignor Michael has some shockingnews for them. They are not twins at all! If you look closely you can tellbecause they look completely different.

The Sisters decide to change the habit of a lifetime andescape from the convent to discover what happened to their real families. Whenthey get out into 1980s Liverpool they find themselves locked into a battlewith a wicked gangster, trapped in an improbable heist and trying to pinch anudey statue to fill a gaping hole in the Monsignor's apse.

Writer Jonathan Harvey (A Thong For Europe) is back withanother riotous comedy featuring some classic 1980s bangers. It's goteverything that you need for a great show: a set of twins, loads of great music,another set of twins, some nuns, another set of twins, a madcap heist, anotherset of twins (possibly. I've lost count)...

So squeeze into your best wimple and get down to the Courtfor a brand new comedy that is second to nun!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
