A woman sitting at a desk with open books, intensely looking towards the camera as various colourful objects like books, a clock, a train ticket, a wine glass, a shoe and a baby bottle, amongst others swirl chaotically around in the air on a pink background.

(The) Woman

M is a writer.  M is a mother.  M is a woman.

The triumph of M’s hit play is hijacked by motherhood – M is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.

She wants to tell her story, her way. But, everyone around her shares their opinions on who she is, who she should be and how she’s messing everything up.

Fiercely funny and brutally honest, award-winning writer Jane Upton’s Bruntwood Prize shortlisted play shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth, and dares to question the definition of (her) Self.
