S5, Ep6 We’ll Have Nun of It written by Rosie Dart & Finola Southgate

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.

Featuring songs ‘Daydream Days’ and ‘Vines’ performed by Finola Southgate.
