PETALING JAYA, Jan. 17 -- The incredible story of St Mary Euphrasia, a French nun who dedicated her life to helping marginalised women and children in the 1800s, came to life on stage last year in Kuala Lumpur.

Following a successful run at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, "Euphrasia The Musical" is back by popular demand and will return on stage next month.

Born in 1796 as Rose Virginie Pelletier, Mary Euphrasia founded the Good Shepherd Sisters welfare organisation which has a presence in 73 countries today.

The musical celebrates the life of a woman ahead of her time whose daring ideas helped improve the lives of children and women who are abused, trafficked and discriminated against.
