“MOTHERHOOD”
“Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your
heart go walking around outside your body” - American author, Elizabeth Stone …
Forever? Really?
Actress and writer Elli Mackenzie thinks so and, in this moving yet hilarious work of
autobiographical theatre Elli, explores the highs and lows, the frustrations, the joy, the
bizarre and downright unbelievable aspects of raising children whilst running a family
business *.
Join Elli, her husband Andy, an orangutan and a giant woodlouse as Oddsocks presents an
“amazing” and “refreshingly honest piece of theatre.”
