A secular comedy set in a convent and featuring nuns as its central subject, the play helped establish the French Revolutionary-era convent-play genre, which used convent settings to criticize or parody religious practice. Its all-woman cast made it the first such cast in French theatre, and its treatment of nuns divided Parisian audiences.
