OBSERVER: Drinking Habits


Wyndham Theatre Company presents the comedy Drinking Habits from May 8 – 17 at the Crossroads Hall, Werribee.
Written by Tom Smith and directed by Cody Riker, Drinking Habits tells of trouble forThe Sisters of Perpetual Sewing.
They are on the verge of being shut down by the Vatican for being ‘insignificant’, leaving the Sisters to turn to drastic means to survive.
Sister Augusta and Sister Philomena are forced to start making sly booze in order to keep their doors open, right under the long and severe nose of their Mother Superior.
When the local town starts being flooded with award winning wine, a couple of local reporters approach the convent to sniff out a source. Dressed undercover as Sisters, Fathers and Cardinals, (sometimes all at the same time) these two discover a heartwarming surprise at the end of the scandal.
