How to Survive Your Mother
Tour synopsis, cast & creatives
The true story of a Technicolor Woman in a black and white world. How do you navigate a crazy, glamorous, narcissistic, scandal-loving mother whose idea of fun is to turn your 1970s family home into Britain's first ever gay hotel? A chance meeting leads a writer to investigate his mother's secret past and trawl through memories of her colourful life. It's perfect subject matter for a play. But should he be exposing her private life for public entertainment? And why is he starring in the play as himself?
