1348. The Black Death threatens to wipe out London. With brothels on the brink of extinction, Jules is given a chance to swap sin for salvation: to be locked away as God's eternal bride. But nuns just want to have fun. Tanwen Stokes makes her writing debut in a high-spirited tribute to some of the earliest devotional (horny) writings of women in English. Original instrumentation and medieval pop song covers underscore Stokes' bardcore blunder into the typecast of London prostitute in this unapologetically subversive spectacle of womanhood. Think Carry-On-cum-Monty Python-cum-Sister Act-? Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris, Amen.
