Set in a Benedictine Convent, Rachel Connor's lyrical drama is a glimpse into the rarely seen world of an enclosed religious order.

When new postulant Bridget arrives, Sister Agatha is assigned to look after her. But Bridget's questions force Agatha to confront the truth about herself and her faith.

Rachel Connor is a novelist and playwright. Her first novel Sisterwives was published in 2011 and she recently won the Hebden Shorts Competition with her play 'Synchronous' that will be staged at the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival in June. 'The Cloistered Soul' is Rachel's first drama for radio.
