Sweet, tender and thought-provoking.
A well executed portrayal of three women set over three decades questioning their role as women in society and how they must do better than their mothers.
Our story starts on New Year’s Eve with each of the women facing a question about motherhood. Is it everything they’ve wanted? Are they ready for children? Or do they even want children at all? As the story unfolds we see them grapple with these questions as they try to figure out their place in the world.
The play does well to address the social issues and attitudes towards women and motherhood. We can clearly see how these attitudes have evolved as we swiftly move from the 70s to present day. Times have changed and it is interesting to see how women no longer feel the need to be mothers if they do not wish to be- the social pressure is lifted.
The way in which we are presented these three snippets of life is beautiful. The stagecraft is clean, well directed and dream-like. Our actors take to the stage as if in a dance, they are slick, well rehearsed and charming. Cecilie Fray’s direction is sharp, precise and detailed. Together with the cast and crew they have created a beautiful story which I suggest you go and see!
