The original text
A play about Mrs Dominee's regular craving for Sunday's leftover communion wine. In the dominee's absence, the angel Gabriël pleads with her not to be led into temptation. From the parsonage's kitchen cupboard, he watches everything Mrs. does and is witness to her struggle to meet high expectations and keep the parishioners satisfied, at the expense of herself. She tends to find relief in the wine in the fridge, but with Gabriël's guidance, she struggles through her own past to find alcohol-free solutions for her present.
