'So good we thought it was written by a man!'
M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
The triumph of M's hit play is hijacked by motherhood - M is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
She wants to tell her story, her way. But, everyone around her shares their opinions on who she is, who she should be and how she's f*cking everything up.
Fiercely funny and brutally honest, award-winning writer Jane Upton's Bruntwood Prize shortlisted play (the) Woman shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth, and dares to question the definition of (her) Self.
It is premiered in a touring production by New Perspectives and Royal & Derngate in 2025.
