About Emma Buckle
Confessions of a Serial Mother is a comedy debut from Barcelona-based British actress Emma Buckle, charting one woman's journey through the mess of motherhood and relationships in a multilingual home. With three sons, an insomniac and far too much testosterone in the house, Buckle invites audience participation and some hilarious musical outbreaks as she dives into the hair-raising moments of raising a family in Barcelona as a Franco-British couple where things get lost in translation. The interactive show runs for 60 minutes at Just The Sub-Atomic Room, suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
An interactive comedy debut with music, audience participation and a genuinely funny premise — the chaos of a multilingual household in Barcelona, as told by the person who lived it. Frank, warm and good fun.
