M.Rock Summary

M.Rock by Lachlan Philpott

M.Rock is a magical new play, based on a true story, about the enduring joys of music, dancing and self-discovery. In his distinctive language, Philpott charts the fortunes of 18-year-old Tracey and her grandmother Mabel. Tracey has just finished school, she's bought a round-the-world ticket and is flying away to soak up experience. By contrast, Mabel is stable. She plays piano for The Players, knits for the African appeal and looks after Hilda's cat. When Tracey misses her plane home, Mabel sets off on a quest to find her granddaughter. But what she finds is her inner DJ.

M.Rock Reviews

A warmly funny play touching lightly on issues of age prejudice and the unspoken limitations placed on our elders. * Sydney Morning Herald *
I have a hunch that this story will make its way to the big screen one day * Sydney Arts Guide *
A delightfully fresh, inter-generational theatre experience that challenges taboos and assumptions about age. * Australian Arts Review *
'Brave and sad, sad but true, Lachlan Philpott's Bustown... honours the fact that living everyday means, everyday discovering that there's more behind you than ahead of you' -- Will Eno
