Lisa Randall’s superbly mobile\, expressive face speaks volumes; her speaking voice is wonderfully flexible; but it’s her singing voice that is the highlight of this piece for me\, and an unforgettable rendition of Tom Lehrer’s Vatican Rag [which itself is worth the ticket price]\, it’s an aural joy and delight that brings life and colour”. – Mary Woodward\, ScotsGay Arts\, Edinburgh\n“Sister Sophia is witty\, curious\, and easy to root for\, thanks to a stellar performance. The one-nun-show is cheeky\, introspective\, and thoughtful.” – HAMILTON CITY MAGAZINESelected for Preservation by the National Library of Scotland at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
