Description Cruelty, Delirium, Murder, Revolution, Voodoo, Haiti, Tom-toms and Gregorian chants.Mix all that together, add three nuns who turn out to be men, who smole cigars, drink gut-rot by the bottle and call one another 'sister' and you get … a comedy. A difficult comedy, a shocking comedy, one which certainly constituted a risk for Downstage.
