Regional Premiere in Meek Hall
"Mr. Marmalade...aims to unsettle and delight in equal measure." New York Times
"...exhilarating...alternately hilarious and heartbreaking...." The New Yorker
Ole Miss Theatre is proud to present the regional premiere of Mr. Marmalade in our new performance space: the renovated Meek Hall Auditorium. Mr. Marmalade—debuted in 2004—takes audiences into the disturbing and hilarious world of precocious four-year-old Lucy, whose imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade takes the form of the emotionally absent, manipulative businessman with a penchant for drugs and debauchery. With a real life that's not much better, Lucy must try to free herself of her "friend" and find a safe path through childhood. Mr. Marmalade is a twistedly funny, dark, and biting take on the psychological landscape of modern childhood. Due to subject matter, it is not recommended for younger audiences.
