Join Sister Mary, the original Soho nun, for a fun filled show of singing, comedy, silliness, maybe a few games and possibly a small dose of audience participation. No prayers here, she’s not that sort of nun.

 

Found on the steps of St Peters of the Sisters of the Third removed in Soho, who is her mother? Who does she dream of being her mother? Let her confess all, but will you?
