About (the) Woman

A successful playwright, known only as M, finds her career triumph eclipsed by the overwhelming demands of motherhood. Burnt out, isolated, and craving real connection, M struggles to hold onto her identity as those around her project their expectations - and judgments - onto her. As pressure mounts, she battles with self-doubt, anger, and the suffocating fear of what comes next.

This bold and unflinching exploration of modern motherhood dismantles its glossy, idealised image to reveal the raw, messy, and deeply personal reality beneath. Through M’s candid voice and dark humour, the play questions what it truly means to be a mother, a woman, and an artist in a world eager to define you before you can define yourself.

It’s worth the applause!
