Peddling — MTC
A play from a Harry Potter actor turned writer.
Overview
Who would have guessed that Dudley Dursley would grow up to be a playwright? And yet that's exactly what has happened. Peddling is the debut play by actor turned writer Harry Melling, best known for playing Harry Potter's odious on-screen cousin. A one-man show about class and generational divide, the play premiered in London back in 2014, and will be performed in Australia for the first time this week in a strictly limited season at the MTC.
Actor Darcy Brown plays our unnamed protagonist, a teenage boy selling household cleaning goods door to door. Supposedly he's part of the Mayor's Young Offenders Scheme, but we soon learn that's just a scam. Described by critics as "a must-see experience" and "an accomplished debut", Peddling shapes up as a highlight of this year's MTC calendar.
