Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is a play by Guy Unsworth based on the BBC TV sitcom of the same name by Raymond Allen.
The idea for a stage production of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em began while Joe Pasquale was appearing in Spamalot at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End in June 2013 (with Guy Unsworth as associate director) in which an incident with a faulty electric fan collapsing prompted the idea for Pasquale to play Frank Spencer (originally played in the TV series by Michael Crawford).
When approached to create the stage version, Raymond Allen (the original TV series writer) gave his blessing for the adaptation as well as the casting of Pasquale (already being a fan of his stand-up shows).
The production was written and directed by Guy Unsworth, designed by Simon Higlett, scenery built by Splinter Scenery and starred Joe Pasquale as Frank Spencer, Sarah Earnshaw as Betty Spencer and Susie Blake as Mrs Fisher.
[3] A new production opened at the Barn Theatre in Cirencester directed by Joseph O'Malley which ran from 8 July to 17 August 2024.
