West End run for Lee Hall's Our Ladies...
OUR Ladies of Perpetual Succour, adapted from The Sopranos novel by Alan Warner by Geordie playwright Lee Hall, is set to transfer to London’s West End in the spring. Originally a co-production between Newcastle's Live Theatre and National Theatre of Scotland Our Ladies… will run from May 15 to September 2 (previews from May 9) at the Duke of York’s Theatre presented by Sonia Freidman Productions, Scott M Delman and Tulchin Bartner Productions.
Featuring the songs of ELO and directed by Vicky Featherstone, the hit show had its English premiere at Live Theatre in October 2015 following a sell-out run at Edinburgh International Festival Fringe and tour of Scottish venues, where it won a host of awards and five star critics reviews including a Scotsman Fringe First Award, a Herald Angel Award, a Little Devil Herald Award and a Stage Ensemble Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2015.
A UK and international tour in 2016, saw the show play to audiences across the country including Newcastle Theatre Royal and performances internationally at festivals in Galway, Connecticut, and Melbourne. It culminated in a sell-out a ten-week run in the Dorfman Theatre, London’s National Theatre, earning the show further award nominations, critical and audience acclaim.
Hall, who is best-known as the creator of Billy Elliot, has brought to the stage an uplifting and moving story of six Catholic school girls from Oban, let loose in Edinburgh for the day.
