Everyone's favourite mum, Maggie, and her long-suffering son Arthur return in The Toowoomba Repertory Theatre’s delightful new stage adaptation of this comedy classic which will have you will have you both burying your head in your hands, and laughing out loud. Geoffrey Atherden penned the first TV episodes of Mother & Son in 1984 creating an instant classic and award-winning TV series, and 36 years later he revisited his famous characters for the stage.
Following the elderly Maggie Beare, who though she might be showing signs of ageing, hasn't missed a beat when it comes getting what she wants - usually at the expense of her much devoted youngest son Arthur.
This production sees Arthur “at his wit’s end and desperate for some time away with his new girlfriend. But who will look after Maggie? Whilst Arthur’s dentist brother Robert and his wife Liz claim they’d love to help, Liz has bigger fish to fry! Is Robert having an affair with his hygienist? Will Arthur get away to pop the question? Will Maggie go on a trip of her own? Maggie would have Arthur tied to her apron strings for life – if she could just remember where she put that apron”.
On sale now, The Rep Theatre, Toowoomba’s home of amateur theatre, has a limited number of Tickets available; $25 for general tickets or $20 for concession holders. The first show is Friday, 24 February at 7.30pm. Check out our calendar for all four show dates and times and secure your seat for one of the four shows via The Rep Theatre’s website.
