Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour

T02035308032
Catholic schoolgirls go wild! The choir trip to the capital goes badly wrong. Funny, sad and raucously rude. A play about singing, sex and sambuca. Six girls on the cusp of change. Love, lust, pregnancy and death all spiral out of control in a single day. A musical play about losing your virginity and finding yourself.
Author Lee Hall (adaptation of Scottish novel 'The Sopranos by Alan Warner)

Emily Leslie (11Aug16): Fantastic performance from the six ladies in the main cast and three ladies providing the beats and riffs in the background! Technical diversity, some fourth-wall breaking techniques and a melange of tunes that are known but not cliche are just a few highlights. The girls shine. It's so refreshing and daring when the female teenager has a platform like this. There's familiarity and fondness, tenderness and vulnerability in the crudeness & vulgarity that is more than ever shown as an adopted front rather than a testimony to true nature of being. 5
