AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE’S STILL YOUR MOTHER
Saturday 27th April
By Jess Green
6:15pm
Part of Up Next 2024 – a two-week festival celebrating Merseyside artists
This performance will feature a 30 minute long Post-Show Q&A with the creator of the piece entitled ‘The unlikeable female protagonist’.
A mother and daughter who cannot be in the same room, meet in a breast cancer clinic after five years of estrangement and are forced to confront their own and each other’s mortality.
A darkly comic look at the mother/daughter relationship and what happens when it’s between two people who destroy each other. Because when a woman’s brought you in to this world, are you ever allowed to cut and run?
A work-in-progress performance of a new play by BBC Slam Champion, Jess Green (Burning Books, A Self Help Guide To Being In Love With Jeremy Corbyn).
