Raw, chaotic, heartbreaking; much like motherhood. God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers. Of course, he could be everywhere, he's God, he chose not to be, he knew mothers have the hardest job. This dark comedy from Paris dramatizes the relentless nature of motherhood by following the often ridiculous but sometimes moving journey of four diverse mothers. The play opens as each one is dealing with a 'die or kill' moment of mothering. The acting is compelling, the writing is painfully funny and, at times, painfully painful. It'll change your perspective.

About the show

A dark comedy from Paris that dramatises the relentless nature of motherhood. The play follows four diverse mothers, each facing a 'die or kill' moment of mothering, in a journey that is often ridiculous but sometimes deeply moving. The writing is painfully funny and, at times, painfully painful, with compelling performances throughout. Raw, chaotic and heartbreaking — much like motherhood itself. Performed by Koël Purie Rinchet Mic and Couch Entertainment Ltd at the Annexe. Runs for 45 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.

Why see this show?

A sharp, emotionally honest show that captures the absurdity and weight of motherhood through four very different women. If you want theatre that makes you laugh and unsettles you in equal measure, this is a strong pick.
