Book NowAbout 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.
