Malcolm and Teresa: True Story of Reporter Inspired by Famed Nun
- Full Price:
- $32.00 - $41.00
- Our Price:
- $16.00 - $20.50
Irish Catholic playwright Cathal Gallagher penned this engrossing 2007 drama based on the true story of a British journalist whose life underwent a profound change after meeting Mother Teresa. Initially attracted to the Bolshevik ideals of the '20s and '30s, a staunchly liberal Malcolm Muggeridge was bitterly disappointed and disillusioned to find millions of people starving in the Ukraine under the strong-arm rule of Stalin. But it's only years later, when the BBC host interviews the then-little-known nun, that he takes the first steps of his own deeply spiritual journey. Muggeridge is often credited with bringing Mother Teresa -- and her tending of the poor and starving -- to worldwide fame through his subsequent 1969 documentary Something Beautiful for God and book of the same name. The A.D. Players present this regional-premiere production. Learn More

Written on Oct 05 2012Well-acted and fun! I love the intimate setting of AD Players - there is not a bad seat.
Written on Sep 27 2012Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure is an entertaining small theater production. The plot intrigues and is mostly plausible. The players delivered strong, credible performances, even though the accents sometimes digressed and the costumes and sets were adequate, at most. Overall, it was an engaging, enjoyable theater performance.
Written on Sep 21 2012Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Cast were brilliant and the plot was gripping!
Written on Sep 17 2012We were disappointed in this production and agreed with the reveiw in the Houston Chronicle that the main character was miscast. There were also quite a number of staging problems such as doors opening by themselves.

About the Ticket Supplier: A.D. Players
A. D. Players, or After Dinner Players, was founded in 1967 by Jeannette Clift George. The troupe of part-time actors performed its first performance in 1968, and seven years later, in 1975, the Players created a Touring Company. In the late 1970s, the Players purchased the Grace theater building. Soon, the Touring Company was making an international performances, and the Players also established the Theater Arts Academy, originally providing drama classes to children. A. D. Players continued to grow through the early nineties, even expanding with the building of Saint Street Annex, which served as the new home for costume shop, Touring Company, rehearsal hall, and Theater Arts Academy. The company also started Houston's first year round children's theater at St. Luke's United Methodist Church Rotunda. In 1997, A. D. Players made their off-broadway debut of John His Story at Lamb's Theatre, New York City.
The future of A. D. Players is bright. In 2003, the company purchased over three aces of land in the Galleria area of Houston. The purchase of this land will enable A. D. Players to consolidate six current theater locations, including a 450-seat Mainstage Theater, a 300-seat Children's Theater, and a 150-seat Black Box Theater. This new facility, located in one of the top tourist destinations in Houston, will enable A. D. Players to continue serving the Houston community with its unique artistic signature of hope and faith.
