By Tom Smith
Directed by Bryar Freed-Golden
Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancées, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Synopsis: In 1815 a British navy ship encounters an alien spaceship in the South Pacific. Its captain, Pandora, demands a dialog with both the “highest” and the “lowest”—meaning the British ship’s captain, James Arkwright, and its chicken-keeper, a freedman called Jemmy Ducks. Pandora intends to negotiate the surrender of Earth in order to establish an age of liberty and equality among humans. Meanwhile, in an altered present day, the same Pandora meets with Jemison Arkwright, captain of a spacefaring vessel on the planet Jupiter. Pandora wants this Arkwright to capture the leader of an underground movement seeking to free Earth from the aliens’ dominion. The action moves between time periods, as two generations of humans test the limits of freedom and resistance.
