New Dark Comedy RAISING MARTHA to Premiere at the Park Theatre

By:

The new dark comedy Raising Martha by David Spicer will be opening the Park Theatre's 2017 season, marking the show's world premiere in PARK200. The production will run January 12th to February 11th, 2017.

Directed by Michael Fentiman, Raising Martha stars the finest comedy ensemble live on stage: Joel Fry (ITV's Plebs, HBO's Game of Thrones, Sky's You, Me and the Apocolypse), Tom Bennett (Netflix's Mascots, E4's Phone Shop), Jasper Britton (Richard II, RSC, The Libertine; Theatre Royal Haymarket), Julian Bleach (Doctor Who & best known for creating the role of MC in Shockheaded Peter) Jeff Rawle (Channel 4's Drop The Dead Donkey, Hollyoaks, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and Gwyneth Keyworth (E4's Misfits, BBC's The Great Outdoors)

Raising Martha is a seriously funny new dark comedy by award-winner David Spicer. 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 comedy starring the finest comedy ensemble live on stage, Raising Martha tackles terrorism, animal rights and six-foot frogs!
