Based on experiences all mothers share, this is group therapy like never before The mother of all shows, it features the stuff nobody tells you about parenthood…until it’s too late.

Whether it is leaving the house without your bra, crying in the supermarket aisles for no reason or secretly thinking you had given birth to E.T., you will not feel alone when listening to these women portray the ‘beauty’ of bringing new life into the world…or forgetting where they left it. A seriously funny evening, no subject is taboo or too private and what these women cannot teach you about motherhood is not worth knowing.

Producer Anna Anikeyeva said: “As a mum-to-be, this show has me both splitting at the sides and overwhelmed with emotion, it is everything I didn’t know me and my friends needed.”

‘Mum’s The Word’ will be staged on Saturday, October 29 and tickets are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk.
