Charles Dyer's play Mother Adam will have a rare revival at the Baron's Courth Theatre in June.
Considered a witty and strange insight into loneliness and co-dependency, Mother Adam will star Legend of stage and screen Anna Carteret (Juliet Bravo) stars as Mammles.
Celebrated for his Rattle of a Simple Man, Charles Dyer is considered one of the greatest British playwrights of the 20th Century. The whimsical world of a bed-ridden, arthritic mother and her sprightly son combines deft verbal comedy with buried emotions. Alongside Anna Carteret as the caustic Mammles, John Craggs plays her tragicomic son Adam. This under-performed gem of a play welcomes you to the strange, eccentric, funny and often very moving world of these two oddballs, which sees them playing out their Sunday routine through conversation that gives you an insight into their unusual existence.
Anna Carteret was part of Laurence Olivier’s company at the Old Vic from 1967 – 1974, including playing alongside him in The Merchant of Venice and winning the Clarence Derwent award for Most Promising Newcomer. She also performed in Peter Brook’s Oedipus, and was part of Peter Hall’s National Theatre repertory company, during which she performed in the world premiere of Romans in Britain. She has been directed by her husband Christopher Morahan in Man and Superman, and played Les Liasons Dangereuses for the RSC. She has also appeared on the West End in Franco Zeffirelli’s Absolutely Perhaps at the Wyndham’s Theatre, An Ideal Husband at the Gielgud Theatre, which transferred to the Haymarket before transferring to Broadway. Her most recent role was Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love at the Noel Coward Theatre. Anna has also directed five fringe theatre productions.
Mother Adam runs at the Baron's Court Theatre from June 14 - July 2, 2016.
