MOTHER AND SON ON STAGE
Want to give mum a belly laugh for Mother's Day? How does a ticket to Mother and Son on stage sound?
Canberra's Tempo Theatre presents a new and updated stage version of the Australian classic.
This production was written by Geoffrey Atherden, based on his original - and much-loved - ABC-TV series of the 1980s and 90s.
Arthur Beare has found a new girlfriend and makes plans to go on holiday with her. Will he be able to leave his mother Maggie? Can he rely on his philandering older brother Robert, the dentist, to care for his mother while he is away?
Mother and Son opens at the Belconnen Community Theatre on May 24 and runs until June 1. Bookings at Canberra Ticketing: canberraticketing.com.au or 6275 2700.
