Nun the Wiser by Cormac Larkin

A review on the play Nun the Wiser by MMC students.
I went to see this play on Thursday 7th of February with my parents and my sister. This play is about a singer, Dolores, who is trying to escape from a vengeful ex-boyfriend who is trying to kill her because she has agreed to testify against him. To evade him, she joins a convent but struggles to adapt to the lifestyle of the nuns, which is the polar opposite to the life she previously led. After settling in, Dolores revitalizes the convent choir and they gain fame and fortune. They become so famous that they are asked to perform for none other than his holiness himself, the Pope! The night before however, the ex-boyfriend shows up and tries to get Dolores but she runs away. She is overcome with guilt though as she sees how much the nuns need her, and she returns, and the police apprehend her ex.
The quality of acting in this play was of a high standard, as was the singing. The play was billed as a comedy, and didn’t disappoint, as the show was jam-packed with humour. I would recommend seeing this play to anyone. I would give it a 9/10.
