Fermín Cabal and Pedro Almodóvar
Dark Habits (Entre tinieblas)
Translated by Rick Hite

Based on the film by Pedro Almodóvar, this play involves the peculiar shenanigans of a company of nuns who are trying to keep their Madrid convent from closing down for want of drug addicted clients to serve. A dark comedy which covers the territory from the farcical to the tender, from the engagingly serious to the disturbingly perverse.

Single set:two acts.

Spanish premiere: Segovia, 19 June 1992. Dir. Fermín Cabal.
