- **Event Name**: MOTHER DARK (WIP) - by Rachel Smith   53two Arch 19 Watson St M3 4LP
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 26 Nov, 2025 at 08:45 pm
- **Event Description**: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/manchester/53two-theatre/mother-dark/e-gpkkjo

This Mother should be living alone in a caravan on the moors, by herself, and did we mention alone? Fat chance when everyone around her keeps falling apart. Apparently rescuing is 'enabling' and 'helping' is the sunny side of control, but how do we let people go when there's nothing left to catch them? 

MOTHER DARK is a blackly comic, wildly cathartic ride through co-dependence, mother rage and recovery. If you love a self help group and a banging 90s tune, if you yearn in these times for a (dark) Mother - this show is for you.

This work-in-progress solo show is the culmination of Rachel Smith's Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England, with mentoring from Ursula Martinez and Annie Siddons.
