"Seven Deadly Sins Four Deadly Sinners" is an anthology-style play compiled and written by "Carry On..." writer Norman Hudis and Marc Sinden (who is also the director and producer) and is performed all over Europe by The One Night Booking Company for Marc Sinden Productions. It was originally devised as a feminine (but not feminist) rival to "The Hollow Crown". [www.britishtheatreguide.info/]

It has successfully toured since 15 June 2003 (premièring at the Princess Theatre, Hunstanton, Norfolk) and is billed as: "An anthology evening of Wicked Comedy, Heavenly Drama, Devilishly Tall Tales, Enchanting Poetry and Seductive Stories starring Four Deadly Beautiful Temptresses, who will enlighten you on how to survive, or even live by, the Seven Deadly Sins!" [www.britishtheatreguide.info/] and recent reviews include: "Brilliant and witty... One of the most enjoyable evenings I have had in a theatre for a long time" and "As intelligent as "The Hollow Crown" and as laugh-out-loud funny as a Ray Cooney farce. What more does one want?" [www.thestage.co.uk/]

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, [www.britishtheatreguide.info/] it stars four from the following alphabetically listed, interchangeable cast: Debbie Arnold ("EastEnders"), Judy Buxton ("On The Up"), Tracey Childs ("Born and Bred"), Sara Crowe ("Four Weddings and a Funeral"), Lorna Dallas ("United 93"), Janie Dee ("Mack & Mabel"), Jean Fergusson ("Last of the Summer Wine"), Jan Francis ("Just Good Friends" and "Bad Girls"), Liza Goddard ("Take Three Girls"), Anita Harris ("Carry On’s" etc), Rula Lenska ("Rock Follies" and "Celebrity Big Brother '06"), Annabel Leventon ("Wimbledon" and "North Square"), Cheri Lunghi ("Cutting It"), Nichola McAuliffe ("Surgical Spirit" and "Coronation Street"), Kerry Norton ("Bad Girls"), Eva Pope ("Coronation Street" and "Waterloo Road"), Linda Purl ("Happy Days" and "Matlock"), Georgia Reece ("Brookside" and "This Life"), Angharad Rees ("Poldark"), Liz Robertson ("My Fair Lady" and "The King & I"), Abi Titmuss ("Two Way Mirror" and "Fat Christ").
