FIRST LOOK: Rehearsal images are released for Malory Towers

Rehearsal images have been released for Malory Towers.

Emma Rice’s critically acclaimed musical adaptation of Enid Blyton’s Malory Towersoriginally created with Wise Children, is coming to the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, where it will play from 27 July to 31 August.

This production will star Rosie Abraham as Sally Hope, Alison Arnopp as Gwendoline Lacey, Georgia Bruce as Bill Robinson, Mirabelle Gremaud as Irene Dupont, Bobbie Little as Alicia Johns, Naomi Morris as Mary Lou Atkinson and Alice Vilanculo as Darrell Rivers, with  Katy Ellis and Stephanie Hockley.

Nostalgic, naughty and perfect for now, Malory Towers is the original ‘Girl Power’ story, filled with high jinks, high drama and high spirits, all set to sensational live music and breath-taking animation.

Darrell Rivers is starting school with an eager mind and fierce heart.  Unfortunately she also has a quick temper!  Can she learn to tolerate the infuriating Gwendoline Lacey, or value the kind-hearted Sally Hope?  Can she save the school play and rescue terrified Mary Lou from the grip of a raging storm?  If she can do these things anywhere, she will do them at Malory Towers!

Adapted and directed by Emma Rice, this is a show for girls, boys, and all us grown up children who still dream of midnight feasts, Cornish clifftops and headmistresses like Miss Grayling.  Set and costume design are by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Malcolm Rippeth, sound and video by Simon Baker, choreography by Alistair David and original music by Ian Ross.
