It is time to revisit Geoffrey Atherden’s classic show, this time via the stage.
Voted “Best Australian TV Series Ever”, this time we see Arthur alls in love, can he convince Robert, his older brother and Liz, his brother’s wife, to step up and take care of Maggie so he can propose to Anita?
From amongst the familial chaos comes a story of warmth and love
surrounding their loved one as they confront dementia and the changes it
brings.
Brenton Aimes who plays Arthur Beare said,:“What can audiences look
forward to when they come see the show? Poignancy. Relatable family
drama. Some great laughs with characters that people have known and
loved for many years. And if they’ve not met the Beare family yet,
they’re in for a treat!”
And from Maggie Beare, played by Christine Rule, “I hope that all the
time, commitment and hard work of the whole cast and crew, will bring a
powerful production to not only our regular subscription audience, but
also to people who may be new to live theatre. I hope they all go away
with an eager intention of coming back for more. I hope they continue to
support community theatre at its best”.
And from the Director Jasper Kyle: “MOTHER AND SON is going to end the 2024 season on a real bang, and so far, the excitement that has been
expressed by our existing audience base has been overwhelmingly
exuberant. I can’t wait to get going on this production and working with
my performers and crew to pull together something which I believe will
be truly special and memorable”.
Hunters Hill Theatre will be performing Mother and Son from the 22nd November to the 8th December at Club Ryde. Performance times and bookings via the HHT website.
