TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE: :31st August - 2nd October |
|
by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom
based on the international bestselling book by Mitch Albom
starring GRAHAM HOPKINS and ASHER STOLTZ
and directed by ALAN SWERDLOW
TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is an autobiographical story of Mitch Albom (an accomplished journalist) and his relationship with his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news programme and learns that his old professor from Brandeis University, is battling with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie. What starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage – and a last class in the meaning of life!
This “must see” play is inspirational and to be cherished. Theatre goers should delight in the fine talents of the award-winning actors and director. Bring your book club, your friends, your family, your school, company and staff – but do not miss this one! There are group booking reductions and dinner/show packages can be arranged! In celebration of the play, TUESDAY’s tickets are two for the price of one!
This inspirational play is a must-see!
