Seven Deadly Sins Four Deadly Sinners

Seven Deadly Sins Four Deadly Sinners is an anthology-style play compiled and written by Carry On... writer Norman Hudis and producer Marc Sinden, who is also the director. It was originally devised by Sinden as a female rival to the RSC's The Hollow Crown and was the first anthology to have a permanent 'pool' of actresses from which four appear for the performance.[1]

Cast

Compiled from the works of nearly everyone with a sense of humour (sometimes unintentional) - from Chaucer to Victoria Wood, from Woody Allen to Oscar Wilde via Flanders & Swann, Joyce Grenfell, Steven Berkoff and Noël Coward, it stars four from the following alphabetically listed, interchangeable cast:[6]

gollark: We probably have enough people around.
gollark: And "the good of the species", at least in a human sense, doesn't really equate to "have as many children as possible".
gollark: But a self-aware one which can think about things, happily.
gollark: You have no "inherent function", you're just the output of a bunch of complex processes.
gollark: That is a thing you can do. That does not make it automatically the right/best/good thing to do.
