Summer production

Rehearsals are underway for our summer production which takes place from the 17th to the 19th July.

My Mother Said I Never Should is a bittersweet story about the relationships between mothers and daughters.

The year is 1940. Or 1961. Perhaps 1979 or 1987. Four generations of women navigate the challenges of balancing career and motherhood while growing up and growing old across a century of changing ideas.

Doris, the matriarch, was born in 1900, while her great-grand-daughter, Rosie, was born in 1971. The play explores the lasting impact of parental choices and the destructive power of family secrets.
