Any Mother Would
  • Great Yorkshire Fringe

"They're all over the world; women that move molehills rather than mountains" Much like David Attenborough shows his viewers the lovingly guarded moments of nature, Any Mother Would does the same, but in a 3 bed semi-detached in a rural cul-de-sac. When the family are all back under one roof anything can happen. Francis Towers is confronted by her son's guilt, her daughter's shortcomings, and her husband's gallant return from the pub. Whether through tears, arguments or drunken reminiscing they all find their way of telling her how much she is loved. An autobiographical celebration of motherhood in its magical ordinariness, exploring themes of family, disability, failing, succeeding, coming out and coming home. Any Mother Would promises to be amusing and heart-warming, sending you back home to tell your own stories. Next Door But One bring their latest production to The Great Yorkshire Fringe after two sell out runs and an appearance at York Disability Pride. 'I can say that it has been a long while since I have seen such a heart-warming and intimate production... I was emotionally nourished.' - One&Other Creative 'This is everything that theatre should be!' - Libby Pearson Creatives 'It felt like I'd been hugged for an hour.' - Audience Member

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society.
