About
Everyone knows Andy. And everyone knows his mum.
The looks. The whispers. The rumours that follow him everywhere. Andy is used to it - or at least, he pretends to be.
When Harper, the new girl, arrives at school, things finally start to feel different. Finally, somebody gets him. But as their friendship gets real, their worlds crash into each other and the truth comes out. And once it’s out, there’s no taking it back.
My Mad Mum is a fast-paced, fun and fearless collision of real friendships, messy families, and surviving the stuff no one warns you about as a teenager.
Brought to the stage by award-winning York theatre company Next Door But One and Our Time Charity, who support children of parents with a mental illness, My Mad Mum is about finding your voice, realising you’re not as alone as you think, and carving your own path when everyone already thinks they know your story.
Suitable for audiences 12+.
