Amy Gwilliam is clawing her way back to the stage, through the feisty jungle porridge of motherhood. Formerly a notorious “character” performer, this is the first time Amy will play … herself. How fabulously ghastly! It turns out that in parenting there really is nowhere to hide. Not from your children, and not from yourself. 

And so, following years of charming rooms and hoodwinking the deep mulch of her unconscious, this is the first time Amy will let loose, get real, grow up - and into the fullness of what it is to be gut-wrenchingly, unapologetically human, and with the most outrageous milk ducts. 

Honest and ludicrous, rageful and redemptive: this is for any brave soul who has a womb, or came out of one.
