ABOUT THE SHOW
An unmissable new play from Olivier Award winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Emilia, West-End) and the acclaimed Producers of FLEABAG and BABY REINDEER.
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.
