Prudence Play (or Sister Prudence is Not Gay!)

After a 5-star Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut this August, writer and performer Caroline Dunn is bringing her one-woman-show Prudence Play back to New York City for its official U.S. and New York premiere.

Prudence Play (or Sister Prudence is Not Gay!) stars a young catholic nun having an identity (gay-as-hell) crisis. From her fever dream of tap dancing, or her hot and heavy thoughts during the Lenten fish fry, you understand…she’s having a moment. She’s waking up to feelings for a fellow sister, wrestling with her every belief, and confessing a lot (perhaps too much) to the order’s new priest. As memories from her past resurface and her dreams get more sinful, Prudence begins to question the voice in her head and is forced to confront her (horny) (gay) demons.

Directed by Frances Rippy, Prudence Play takes us on a beautifully human and hilarious journey into the mind of a young nun trapped by her own choices.
