Julian Bleach, Jasper Britton, Jeff Rawle, Gwyneth Keyworth, Joel Fry and Tom Bennett/ Casting has been announced for the World Premiere of Raising Martha, a dark comedy by award-winning writer David Spicer, playing at the Park Theatre from 12 January - 11 February 2017.

Gerry and Roger’s mum has gone missing. Well, most of her has…

The unwitting victims of animal rights activists campaigning for the freedom of the family frog farm's slimy inhabitants, the brothers must bring in the hapless Inspector Clout to establish the whereabouts of their long-dead mother. An absurdly funny, dark comedy starring the finest comedy ensemble live on stage, Raising Martha tackles terrorism, animal rights and six-foot frogs!

Raising Martha is produced by Michael James Cox and Tom O’Connell, directed by Michael Fentiman, with set and costume design by Rebecca Brower, sound design by Max Pappenheim, lighting design by Eliot Griggs, costume supervision by Ryan Walklett, and casting by Anne Vosser.
