Vicky Featherstone’s smash-hit production of Lee Hall’s musical adaptation of Alan Warner’s The
Sopranos 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. In fact the NETG rated it the best show for 2015.
‘Big hearted and enjoyably coarse, but with moments of real poignancy,
this is a fearless portrait of adolescence, fuelled by songs and Sambuca.’

Written by the Lee Hall, creator of Billy Elliot and
long-time Live Theatre collaborator, and Vicky
Featherstone, Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre Our Ladies.. is the uplifting and moving story of six Catholic school
girls from Oban, let loose in Edinburgh for the day. Funny, raucous and heart-breaking, the play is adapted from Alan
Warner’s brilliant novel about six young friends on the cusp of change.
Featuring, amongst others, the songs of ELO, Our Ladies… is a glorious anthem to friendship, youth and growing up disgracefully. Prepare thyself for 24 hours of holy chaos. Our Ladies… contains singing, hilarity, sambuca and strong language.

Max Roberts, Artistic Director, Live Theatre said: “I'm thrilled that
the country's leading commercial producer Sonia Friedman has taken such an
imaginative decision to give Our
Ladies… another life following its national and international tours and
runs at Edinburgh, Live Theatre and the National Theatre, London. I'm delighted
that a commissioned production by Live Theatre in partnership with National
Theatre of Scotland with such a talented ensemble of young Scottish actresses will command
a major West End Stage.”
