Based on the true story of a theatrical agent who swapped premieres for prayers. Giving up a glitzy showbiz career, Triona Adams attempted to make it as a nun in an enclosed Benedictine convent with only Spam fritters and repeats of Dad's Army for salvation. It turned out she was not a natural. A year later she left - wiser, slimmer, but with really bad hair. 

Sister Triona recounts the bittersweet, comic story of a modern, emancipated woman answering 'The Call’ and reveals what really goes on beneath the habit. Her story was first heard as a BBC Radio 4 afternoon play, which aired as ‘The Lemon Squeezer’.
