Tim McArthur to star in Nunsense at the Landor Theatre

It has been announced that the Landor Theatre will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nunsense with its production of Nunsense A-men!

The production opens on 1st July (previews from 27th July) and runs until 29th July. The show stars  Sister Mary McArthur (the musical comedy creation of Tim McArthur) as the Reverend Mother and is directed by Robert McWhir whose previous successes have included I Love You Because, Ragtime, Curtains and A Class Act.

While Sister Mary McArthur has appeared in various cabaret, Nunsense A-men! marks her musical theatre debut. This totally unexpected opportunity came about when she was slurping tea and chomping flapjacks with the theatre’s artistic director Robert McWhir who confided he was worried about an unexpected gap in the programme. The least she could do was to try and help him fill it... she had always had this desire to star in a musical and was sure the other sisters would help out!

Nunsense is a comedy which started as a line of greeting cards and ended up as a full-scale musical and TV movie in the USA. An international phenomenon, it has been translated into at least 26 languages with more than 8,000 productions worldwide.

The cast also includes David Kristopher Brown who has appeared in Phantom of the Opera (His Majesty's) and Chess in concert (Royal Albert Hall), Alastair Knights, Paul Brangan and Josh Rochford.
