A musical that brings to life the miraculous events of St Bernadette’s visions in the town of Lourdes, southwestern France, is set to hit London theatres this summer.
Vision, conceived in 2000 with its first performances in 2002, has been staged at numerous venues over the past 20 years – including twice at Edinburgh’s prestigious Fringe Festival and as far afield as the National Theatre in Lagos, Africa.
The musical tells the tale of St Bernadette Soubirous, to whom Our Lady first appeared on Thursday, 11 February 1858, in a small cave – or grotto – just outside the town of Lourdes. The 14-year-old had gone to collect firewood when she heard a noise described as “something like a gust of wind”.
