Mother and Son - Auditions

Mother And Son embroidary image

Coming to the Belconnen Theatre in May/June 2024, Mother and Son is a new stage version written by Geoffrey Atherden and based on his popular television series of the 1980s and 90s.

The ABC series starred Ruth Cracknell and Garry MacDonald in the titular roles and ran for 42 episodes over 10 years and was shown in over 30 countries. It also had a brilliant support cast of Henri Szeps as Robbie and Judy Morris as Liz,

It centres around the relationship between Maggie - who is becoming a little more "forgetful" - and her youngest son Arthur, who moves in when his father dies. He never leaves.

The TV series was loved by audiences as it reflected real life situations - yet it maintained the dignity of Maggie, whose cunning saw her win in most instances.

Auditions will be held on February 24. See the auditions page for full detals.
