Moll Kettle is appointed the new housekeeper in a country parish's parochial house. Slowly, she sets the priests against each other in her ruthless quest to look after herself.
Keane's hilarious play looks at the power dynamics in sixties Ireland and sets them on their head as we see the priests set against each other and outwitted at every turn.
Absolutely funny, the priests being starved to raise money, and then the scam between Moll and the cannon, She certainly was not stupid as the cannon had the wool pulled over his eyes hello parish funds, the priests could see what's going on and Moll put fear into them. By starving them.
