The true story of Bernadette Soubrious, a young peasant girl who had a vision of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes in 1858. One day, guided by her Lady, Bernadette discovered a spring of water at Massabielle, a spring to which cures are attributed. This story is combined with the (fictional) story of a widowed drunkard, Philippe, whose wife died giving birth to their daughter, Camille. As Camille grows to look more and more like her mother, Philippe blames her for her mother’s death and begins to beat her. Camille is supported by her childhood friend, Henri, and when she is thrown out of her home by her drunken father, Camille and Henri plan to marry. But things change. Is it the waters which cause Phillipe to change his way of life? Is it the waters which give Camille the strength to forgive her father?

(One of the children in the show was Martine McCutcheon)Commentaires : The husband and wife team who wrote this show were supported by the Daily Mirror, who urged their readers to become “angels” and invest in this, the “peoples’ musical”. Hundreds of readers contributed small sums, and a former chauffeur put up £500,000 of his life’s savings, thus raising the £1.25 million needed. The opening night was cheered to the rafters by a house packed with hundreds of investors, but the critics were damning (“three thousand angels and not a prayer”, “Pass the loaves and fishes, they need a miracle”). Despite a blessing from the Pope for the cast and authors, and the investors coming up with more money, the show came off after 3 weeks, losing all its investment.
