Synopsis

Drinking Habits

by Tom Smith

Anschuldigungen, Verwechslungen und Liebschaften nehmen in dieser klassischen Farce ihren Lauf. Es darf gelacht werden! Zwei Nonnen im Schwesternorden des ewigen Nähens "Sisters of Perpeptual Sewing" haben heimlich Wein hergestellt, um den Orden am Laufen zu halten. Aber die Reporter Paul und Sally sind ihnen dicht auf den Fersen. Früher waren sie ein Paar, jetzt ermitteln sie verdeckt als Nonne und Priester. Durch ihre und die Anwesenheit einer neuen Nonne geht im gesamten Kloster die Angst um, dass aus Rom Spione gesandt wurden, mit dem Ziel, das Kloster zu schließen. Im Verlauf der Geschichte wird der ein oder andere Tropfen Wein verschüttet und es werden einige Geheimnisse aufgedeckt. Dabei wollen alle doch nur das Kloster und verlorengegangene Liebschaften retten.

Drinking Habits

by Derek Benfield

Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancees, 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. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Jean is preparing a birthday dinner for her mild-mannered accountant husband Henry. Good friends Betty and Vic are expected any minute, and Jean is frantic because Henry is late. When he eventually arrives, Jean finds him not quite the man he used to be. He wants to emigrate to Barcelona immediately, and with good reason: the briefcase he accidentally picked up on the Underground is stuffed with bundles of fifty pound notes amounting to £735,000! But if getting the money was easy, keeping it proves harder, as not one but two police inspectors call and Henry, Vic, Betty and a bemused (and tipsy) Jean are forced into a frantic game of cat and mouse. Hilarious innuendo and cruelly funny turns of fate ensue as the two couples assume all sorts of identities in their battle to keep the money. Will they succeed? The cabby Bill has the answer!
