BLOG : REVIEW: Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour "will win even the most cynical audience over"

As a woman who went to a mixed comprehensive on the South Coast of England I can’t exactly say this tale of Scottish Catholic school girls resonated with me, but I still enjoyed the experience; the novelty of a female-dominated (both its cast and director) play, the music of ELO (you have no soul if you don’t bounce in your seat to Mr Blue Sky) and the delightful coming of age story and all the issues that come with that, will win even the most cynical audience over.
