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.
