[edit] The Sister Wendy Musical
Nun. Critic Superstar.
Postcards From God was a vibrant and enchanting musical portrait of world famous art critic and nun Sister Wendy Beckett.
With her homespun philosophy that 'art is meant for everyone', Wendy Beckett became a household name in the nineties on her televised tours of the UK, Europe and America. But as the reluctant pop icon swapped her humble mobile home for the caravan of fame, her simple life would never be the same again.
The show premiered Monday 8th January 2007 in Jermyn Street West End Studio and featured gospel, pop and rap.
