A black gloved hand holds a toy clown, Mother.Dad runs January 13-31, written by Doug Deans, directed by Kathleen O'Dougherty, designed by Chronic Insanity 2 people. A Mum to someone. A Dad to someone else. Both new to it. Both learning. He's loving it. She's... managing. 2 stories. 17 years. 1 afternoon. Just keep going. Tell yourself you're doing your best. That's all they need. Right? A woman stands in a pub doorway, checking ID's, waiting for a call. A man sits at the kitchen table with his children, waiting for a call. Their lives couldn't be more different. But if they could see each other. Award winning theatre company Chronic Insanity, the team behind the 5 star hit 24, 23, 22 return to Omnibus Theatre with the world premier of this potent and provocative new play. Mother.Dad is a raw and raucous look at love, parenthood, class, and the sheer madness of raising a family in the 21st century. Written by rising star Doug Deans ("smartly cyclical writing" The Guardian) Mother.Dad was selected for the Lyric Hammersmith's first open script submission from over 800 entries, and was shortlisted from open submissions for the Bush Theatre, Royal Court Theatre, and Graeae
