a foul-mouthed, finely

very coarse language
Adapted by LEE HALL from the novel The Sopranos
by ALAN WARNER
Six Catholic schoolgirls travel to Edinburgh for a choral
competition, but these sopranos are more interested in
sex, smokes and Sambuca.
This gleefully uplifting tribute to youth on the cusp of
adulthood is a musical play about losing your virginity
and finding yourself. Stunning six-part classical
harmonies from the Age of Enlightenment give way
to ELO and the whole is punctuated with the dirtiest
trash-talk a sixteen-year-old Scot could summon (and
then some). Heartbreakingly bittersweet, searingly
funny, terribly rude and possessed by an infectious
spirit of play, this theatrical romp is a joyride you won’t
soon forget.
Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour marks the first visit to
Melbourne for the world-renowned National Theatre
of Scotland. Apologies if the girls make a mess.
