A play by Jonathan Maitland (Dead Sheep, An Audience with Jimmy Savile, The Interview).
How do you navigate a crazy, glamorous, narcissistic, scandal-loving mother whose idea of fun is to turn your 1970s family home into Britain’s first ever gay hotel?
A witty, poignant and often hilarious exploration of the complexities of mother-child relationships, this new play shines a searingly fresh light on the oldest question in the parenting book: what does it take to be 'a good mother'?
There will be post-show discussions with Emma Davies and Jonathan Maitland after the matinees hosted by BAFTA winning film maker and integrative therapist Olivia Lichtenstein on 30 October, by BBC broadcaster Julian Worricker on 6 November, and BBC Radio broadcaster Caroline Wyatt on 13 November.
Post Show Q&A's will take place on the following matinee performances:
