Malory Towers
Emma Rice returns to Brighton Festival following the huge successes of Wise Children's North By Northwest (2025) and Wuthering Heights (2022) and Kneehigh's The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk (2018) and Tristan & Yseult (2017).
Get ready for high jinks, high drama and high spirits, all set to sensational live music as Emma Rice Company tours their popular production of Malory Towers once again!
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!
Nostalgic, naughty, and perfect for now, Malory Towers is the original ‘Girl Power’ story. This is a show for girls, boys and all grown-up children who still dream of midnight feasts and Cornish clifftops.
‘It revels in the power and potential of young women, and that makes you want to cheer!’ - The Times
