MAPPA MUNDI: MOLL FLANDERS 2007
A Mappa Mundi | Theatr Mwldan | Creu Cymru Co-Production
Tour Dates: 22 February – 29 March 2007
Following their acclaimed production of Canterbury Tales (2006), Mappa Mundi Theatre Company return with a rollicking new adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s classic, groundbreaking novel. After a scandalous life of adventure, bigamy, incest and fraud, the notorious Moll Flanders finds herself in the shadow of the gallows. Her rags to riches tale reveals the cunning of a woman determined to crack the glass ceiling of Eighteenth Century society… by any means necessary! But as she confesses to her life of shame, will this moral outlaw be able to stay the hand of the executioner? This fabulous new production has more than a hint of spice - it’s bawdy, irreverent and peppered with dark comedy. Atmospherically staged with an original score, Moll Flanders bears all the Mappa Mundi trademarks that keep audiences coming back for more. An action-packed, riotous, downright entertaining show that’s as irresistible as Moll herself!
Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Addas ar gyfer 12 mlwydd oed a hŷn.
