FOR anyone who feels they couldn’t bear to listen to another ABBA song, that shouldn’t prevent them from going to see Free Rain Theatre’s exuberant new production of “Mamma Mia!”.
Although “Mamma Mia!” features about two dozen ABBA songs, they have been interwoven into an appealing story about a young woman, Sophie (Charlotte Gearside) who is about to marry. Sophie decides that she needs to know who her father is. Her attempts to glean this information from her free-spirited mother, Donna (Louiza Blomfield) have been unsuccessful. Having discovered her mother’s diary, Sophie invites three of the most likely suspects to her wedding in the hope of discovering which is her father.
