Funny you should mention it, Lanfranc, but I *have* been a nun, twice : a jolly Irish one in a horrendous play that no-one has ever heard of, and then in a production of Romeo & Juliet, where Brother John, for reasons of casting economy, turned transvestite and became a nun who looked remarkably like the lady who was Romeo's mum and only had 3 lines in Act 1. Sadly, they never let me keep the costume ... Leonard Cohen may be a Guardian reader, but I think he would have to have special dispensation from both the Pope and the Chief Rabbi. No ... this is definitely a job for McGrath.
