We’ll Have Nun Of It at the Other Palace

A new coming-of-age folk-rock musical at the Other Palace Studio only this week

The Other Palace's new project is an explosive folk-rock coming-of-age story which was a huge success at the Edinburgh Fringe.

It’s 1967 – There’s a change in the breeze. A new contraceptive pill is available, same-sex relationships are legal and second-wave feminism is in full flux. Against this new era, four friends navigate life at St Anne’s Convent School. But as opinions collide and feelings towards one another shift, the group’s final year doesn’t play out as planned.

A poignant, new coming-of-age musical that explores struggles surrounding Irish emigration, sexuality, and faith, We’ll Have Nun of It prompts important questions about growing up in a divided world and highlights the vitality of sisterhood during dark times.

The cast includes Heather Gourdie as Bernie, Michaela Murphy as Caragh, Angel Lema as Eliza, Juliette Artigala as Mary, and Sorrel Jordan as Sarah.

Book by Rosie Dart and Finola Southgate, music and lyrics by Finola Southgate, directed by Rosie Dart, producers are Rosie Dart and Fran Davies-Cáceres, musical director Rosie Weston, casting director Abby Galvin, lighting design by Oliver McNally.
