| Notes: | by Marcus Reeves and Beccy Smith | |||||
| Synopsis: | Sister Wendy Beckett brought an infectious artlessness to art. I can still, in my mind, see her as she was on television: a bespectacled, slightly goofy nun who talked about everyone from Botticelli via Cezanne to Hopper with the insight of the initiate and the first-hand exhilaration of someone who had previously seen her beloved painters' work only in books or on the collection of postcards she kept in her caravan. But to make a musical of her untheatrical craft and uneventful life? That's an odd decision. Nevertheless, Marcus Reeves and Beccy Smith have made it and not made it cynically. They admire Sister Wendy for all the right reasons, among them her profound seriousness as a Catholic hermit who now devotes herself almost entirely to prayer.
