Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour
The National Theatre of Scotland will paint the town red.
Overview
Six Catholic schoolgirls travel to Edinburgh for a choral competition. What could possibly go wrong? In Melbourne for the very first time, the National Theatre of Scotland presents Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, a raucous production about "singing, sex and Sambuca". Adapted from Alan Warner's novel The Sopranos, with music by everyone from ELO to Bach, the show was a smash with critics and audiences in the UK, and is one of the obvious highlights in the theatre section of this year's Melbourne Festival program.
