How to Survive Your Mother

The true story of a Technicolor woman in a black and white world

The true story of a Technicolor woman in a black and white world.

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'?

Degenerate

Fresh from a sell out run, this dark comedy about a woman (sometimes funny) and her vampire (kills every night) is a battle cry for decaying defiantly, because...how far would you go?
