“The play focuses on the journey of four mothers with children of different ages, dealing with the ups and downs, trials and tribulations of motherhood with themes such as guilt, perfectionism, child development issues, sexuality,   bullying, racism and a woman’s internal struggle,” shares Ira Dubey, co-producer of the play. Interestingly, this is a form of theatre where the characters  remain nameless.

To portray the raw and relentless nature of parenting in this format of play is no mean feat. Tiffany Hoffstetter, the director, found that it was an exciting challenge to stage the play using flashbacks, and the different time space each character occupies. “This is always fun to explore as it’s something we see often in a film, but producing it on stage is a whole different ball game,” she explains. The show has been constantly growing and evolving even after the crew started presenting in front of the audience. 

The showrunners hope that this play, which will travel to London later this month, leaves the audience with a feeling that they are not alone, regardless of whether they are mothers or not; that almost everyone puts on a brave face and gets by as best as they can day to day. Most of all, they hope that it starts an open conversation.
