See You Later Mum – Mother’s Day at The Malachi

Find out more and Get Tickets.

A play about love transcending separation and death, this story spans 3 generations of women. It begins in Northern England in 1965 when Jennifer emigrates to Australia leaving her mother Dotty with an empty nest. Weaving in and out of time, Jennifer has the last goodbye.

See You Later Mum is a poignant yet funny play in the style of gig theatre with original songs. It is performed by Christine Firkin and Kay Proudlove who span the generations, sharing the role of Jennifer as the times change and Jennifer ages.

May is a celebration of singing at the Malachi. We have planned an engaging choral event that will take place in the morning before the show, and we would like to invite you to spend a special day at the Malachi. The event is scheduled for Mother’s Day, May 11, 2025, and promises to be a heartwarming, inclusive, and enriching experience. The workshop and theatre performance offer an opportunity to sing, reflect, and come together to celebrate a shared connection — we all have mothers!

You may like to join in for the day – a fun, inclusive choral workshop; a communal lunch and the theatre performance, See You Later Mum.  Or come for the 2pm musical theatre performance, and bring your mum along. See You Later Mum and the workshop are both suitable for ages 15 and older.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge, supported by the Australian Office of the Arts. Lunch is $10 cash on the day and the performance of See you Later Mum! (with addition of a performance of the workshop pieces by the combined choir) will be $25 adult/$22 concession plus booking fee online or $28 adult /$25 concession at the door.
