Details

Can Any Mother Help Me? is an evocative, dynamic and touching play, bringing to life the funny and often moving stories of a group of early 20th Century women. Women whose lives became intimately connected for more than half a century through the simple act of writing for a secret magazine. From marriage to childbirth, hidden desires to socialism, housework to wartime politics, this production delves into lifelong friendships and domestic tragedies and allows us an opportunity for that most human of pleasures, eavesdropping. The story of the Cooperative Correspondence Club inspired by the best-selling book by Jenna Bailey. A co-production with The Courtyard, Herefordshire's Centre for the Arts, the Women's Arts Internationally Festival and Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal.
