I don't think Sr. Claire will be offended, if my experience with nuns is
anything to go by.
My mother had three aunts who were nuns. One was very ancient when I met
her, but had a fantastic sense of humour.
The second one was in a convent in Paris, and was a "praying" nun. My
mother and I visited her once (I was about 20) and
I was told off for wearing a dress with short sleeves. So a cardigan was
fetched for me before I could enter.
Number three (the youngest one) served most of her life as head mistress
of a convent
school for orphaned girls in Indonesia, but retired to the home convent
in the Netherlands.
She would come and stay with us for a week or so once or twice a year,
and was very worldy wise and had a great
sense of humour and was very mischievous.
My mother once suggested that I would make a good nun, so I joined the
army instead.
Good catholic families were supposed to give one child to the church,
and every generation of ours did, apart for mine.
Sounds like a brilliant piece of entertainment. So David, good luck with
the production and the performance(s).

Apologies if this offends you Sr. Claire - but I really think you'd
love it
