MALVERN THEATRES YOUNG COMPANY PRESENTS

MOONEY AND HIS CARAVANS

BY PETER TERSON

DIRECTED BY NIC LLOYD

Malvern Theatres Young Company are delighted to present a new production of Peter Terson's bittersweet drama Mooney & his Caravans. This landmark production will be the first to be staged at the venue since March, when the lockdown began due to Covid-19.

Life isn’t simple with Mooney: he isn’t a man to tangle with. Charley and Mav,e, a young couple with social pretensions learn his little ways rather too late. When they move into one of his caravans they think they are taking a sensible step towards a rosy future, but that isn’t quite how things work out.

Actors Toby Burchell and Moa Myerson, who began their careers with Malvern Theatres Young Company, return to the Festival Theatre, directed by Nic Lloyd in this thought-provoking drama, by turns both funny and serious.

Peter Terson was born in 1932 in Newcastle upon Tyne but would later develop strong links with the West Midlands, not least Worcestershire, where he taught history before becoming a professional playwright. Terson’s plays have been produced for stage, television and radio and most of his theatre work was first produced at the Victoria Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent in conjunction with director Peter Cheeseman. Mooney and His Caravans was first performed in 1968.

A number of measures have been introduced in order to ensure the safest environment for our guests and our staff. Seats are available in socially-distanced ‘bubbles’ of different group sizes. Hand sanitiser points will be provided and an additional cleaning programme will be in place. Please visit the website to read the complete safety guidelines.

Mooney and his Caravans will be on stage at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday 15th – Saturday 19th September 2020. Tickets are limited due to social distancing. Book online at www.malvern-theatres.co.uk or call the Box Office 01684 892277.
