Roger’s adaptation of Moliere’s The Hypochondriac ran from October 5th until October 23rd 2023 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. It opened to great reviews and was directed by Sarah Tipple and starred Richard Hogg as Argan.
The play centred around Argan, who has become obsessed with medicine and worships doctors so much so that he became convinced he had almost every illness and ailment you could possibly have.

Mr Toad's Money-Go-Round
Audiences joined Mr Toad, Ratty, Badger and friends in a new family musical by Roger McGough, inspired by The Wind in the Willows, which was performed at OSO at the OSO Arts Centre, Barnes, up until 5th June 2022.
The story followed the gold coin from polite paws to weally wicked weasels as it circulated around the beautiful riverbanks of Bluebell Wood.
Money-Go-Round was an “utterly enchanting” (Gyles Brandreth) musical, with a tuneful and boisterous score, McGough’s unique wit, and an important message about our responsibilities to one another.
