Mother & Son

The Rep breathes new life into the celebrated Australian TV series in this play, commissioned for stage by the original series writer, Geoffrey Atherden.

Voted the best Australian TV series ever, this stage production is filled with laughter, nostalgia, and poignant moments exploring the themes of family bonds and the challenges of ageing.

This production will entertain audiences young & old.

Maggie Beare is in the early stages of dementia, and her younger son, Arthur, reluctantly lives with her. Despite being increasingly forgetful, Maggie is lucid enough to strategically manipulate Arthur, usually for something outlandish and inconvenient.

Their family is dysfunctional, and Arthur’s budding love life is ‘on the rocks’ before he gets to hand holding. Audiences can expect a hearty, laugh-out-loud-great time.

The competition closes on Thursday 14th November @ 6pm AEST.
