Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour is a play based on the 1998 novel The Sopranos by Alan Warner, adapted for the stage by Lee Hall. It received its world premiere at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2015, before embarking on a short UK tour. The play is a co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and Live Theatre. The production ran at London's National Theatre in August 2016 and is scheduled to transfer to the West End's Duke of York's Theatre in May 2017.

In April 2017, the production won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, for its run at the National Theatre.

Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour has been adapted for the stage by Lee Hall, based on the 1998 novel The Sopranos by Alan Warner. Set over the course of a single day the book follows a choir of catholic school girls on a trip to Edinburgh for a competition. On 15 May 2015, it was announced the play would receive its world premiere the same year at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The play reunited the National Theatre of Scotland with former artistic and founding director Vicky Featherstone, who left the company in 2012. Featherstone wished to stage the play whilst still with the National Theatre of Scotland, but due to issues with the novels rights was unable to. Hall, having read the book when it was first published, also felt he wished to adapt it. Featherstone and Hall met at the Evening Standard Awards around eight years prior to the play's official announcement and the idea was reignited.
