Head of a group of nuns living in our National Theatre? (6)

I believe the answer is:

abbess

(Other definitions for abbess that I've seen before include "Senior ecclesiastic" , "Principal of convent" , "Female superior" , "Person in charge of convent" , "Religious leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
