Nun the Wiser at Schuilkerk De Hoop

Nun the Wiser is a new musical written by Kat Carson that tells the almost true story of a group of nuns thrown into disarray when a new arrival and a visit from Vivaldi disrupts their quiet life. The show explores self-determination, forbidden loves, and challenging faith, with a score rich in classical, gospel, and musical theatre influences. It features LGBTQ+ stories and a feminist plot centred on a diverse cast of women. The production is directed by Jon Madge and marks the first in a planned series of brand new musicals to debut in Amsterdam before touring the Netherlands and internationally.
