Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour, Dorfman Theatre, 2016.
Cast: Melissa Allan, Caroline Deyga, Karen Fishwick, Kirsty MacLaren, Frances Mayli McCann, Dawn Sievewright.
Adapted by Lee Hall from a book by Alan Warner.
Director: Vicky Featherstone.
This had quite a journey, starting off as a book (which I read) and ending up as a film (which I liked) but this was probably my favourite incarnation and it was told with lots of songs (13 listed in the programme, 6 of them by Jeff Lynne of ELO) and as there was a band on stage it was more of a musical. It was also on in the smallest of the National Theatre's spaces so it felt more intimate and immediate. I loved it and would happily see it again.
