MTC Offering Mother's Day Gift Vouchers

Melbournians searching for the perfect Mother's Day surprise, look no further! Treat Mum to an evening of the best international and Australian theatre in the country with an MTC Gift Voucher.

With a stellar season ahead, Mum will be spoiled for choice! Next to open on Thursday 22 May is Ghosts, a gripping revival of Ibsen's masterpiece about a wronged wife, starring Linda Cropper and Philip Quast. More than a hundred years since it alarmed censors, appalled critics and thrilled audiences, Ghosts remains as sensational and electric as ever.

For Mums who love to laugh there's The Speechmaker opening in June with an all-star cast, including Lachy Hulme, Kat Stewart and Erik Thomson. Written by Australia's comic royalty, Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch, The Speechmaker is a fast-paced and very funny political comedy about power and those who wield it.

Maybe Mum will enjoy The Effect, a provocative play that tackles the notions of love, happiness and what's real in a chemically-controlled reality. Renowned actress Sigrid Thornton makes her long-awaited return to the MTC stage, and will be joined by Nathaniel Dean and Zahra Newman.

Rounding out MTC's 2014 Season is Pennsylvania Avenue, a brilliant new music theatre work by the Songs for Nobodies team, Joanna-Murray Smith, Bernadette Robinson and Simon Phillips. This seamless narrative entwined with music will bring show business history to life and delight any music-loving Mum.

MTC Gift Vouchers come in any value and can be printed at home, sent as an e-card, or posted in a beautiful gift wallet. Go to mtc.com.au/giftideas or call 8688 0800 to purchase yours today.
