Modern Plays

Motherhood. No one can prepare you for it. No matter how much you tell yourself you can do it – can you? Where''s the rush of love? When will sleep again?

What if the thing you fear most is also the thing you crave? All you wanted was one night of unbroken sleep, what have you done? Mum is a feverish journey through every parent''s worst nightmare.

A raw and real exploration of early motherhood from the award-winning writer of Emilia, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Theatre Royal, Plymouth and Soho Theatre, London.
