Description
Have you got mummy issues too? So do Pat and Emilia, migrant theatre-makers working on a play about two siblings unpacking their childhood emotional damage (aka post-Soviet parenting). This ‘intimate’ and ‘witty’ **** (BingeFringe.com) meta-theatre production explores the removal of moral judgment from the tangled mass of generational trauma… and the absolute chaos of creating autobiographical performances.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Okay so there’s a twist! But I promise you won’t see it coming. Actually is there a twist? Or was it a twist within a twist. Seriously though this play was amazing. The performances were exceptional and they got the audience involved! Lots of laughs and if you’re an artist you’ll be able to relate! Loved it! Go see it! 10/10

This is an intricate bit of theatre well presented and suited to the Fringe. The three hander works well, and the team should be pleased with the result. If you can find time, worth considering
