About this show
Raw, chaotic, heartbreaking; much like motherhood. God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers. Of course, he could be everywhere, he's God, he chose not to be, he knew mothers have the hardest job. This dark comedy from Paris dramatizes the relentless nature of motherhood by following the often ridiculous but sometimes moving journey of four diverse mothers. The play opens as each one is dealing with a 'die or kill' moment of mothering. The acting is compelling, the writing is painfully funny and, at times, painfully painful. It'll change your perspective.
