Description

Child of Sunday examines the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the ordinary people in our communities. The single mother trying to balance it all, the desperate souls looking for the promise of redemption, the fanatics, the phonies and the fraudulent. Through stories of lived experience and songs, Child of Sunday examines what brings people together, lending a voice to the broken and the quietly brave. This is a show about the people who shape our communities in the constant search for connection and hope. An emotional show that asks as many questions as it answers.

This is a beautifully written and performed show. Elisa's storytelling style is warm and, although she tackles some very difficult incidents from her past, contains a lot of humour. The show has several musical interludes, with well-chosen songs that help to illustrate the story and showcase the power and purity of Elisa's vocals. It should be said that although Child of Sunday has Christian themes it can be enjoyed by people of any faith or none, as it covers universal topics such as community and loss. I would happily recommend it to anybody looking for an uplifting and thought-provoking show.

Really enjoyed this great heartfelt show. Elisa is a great storyteller and talented singer. She talked us through her growing up and some tough times in her and her family’s lives but hope reigns and you leave with a warm feeling inside. Highly recommend
