About the Book
First performed on 6 March 2020 at the Everyman theatre, LiverpoolBook Synopsis
It's no secret that Sylvie is unravelling. Frozen in time in her Blundellsands house, she inhabits a fantasy world that never was. Garnet, her sister, is older and wiser - and wearier, with her shopping lists and tired love. She's always fanned the flames of Sylvie's fantasies. Because if she didn't... who knows where they'd both end up?
But now the whole family's up in Liverpool for a birthday, and Garnet's got a secret of her own to pass on. There'll be a party... but it's not going to be pretty. Welcome to a family more messed up than your own.Review Quotes
"Jonathan Harvey has an athletic and fantastical imagination, bawdy, funny and joyously blasphemous" --Sunday Times
"Jonathan Harvey has extraordinary skill in writing sensitive, witty dialogue. Our Lady of Blundellsands is an outstanding example of his ability to create utterly believable characters in equally believable, surreal scenarios." --The StageAbout the Author
