Summary:
"Immaculate Deception is the third volume in a series of stage-friendly translations from the Middle French of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century French farce. These twelve engagingly funny satires target religious hypocrisy in that in-your-face way that only true slapstick can muster. There is literally nothing sacred"-- Provided by publisher.
