Clare Pointing (“a tour-de-force” ***** The Upcoming) brings her bold and thought-provoking solo show With Child to the Omnibus Theatre, introducing six very different women with just one thing in common.
With Child is a rousing reaction to the expectations and pressures society places on women to be maternal, kind, considerate and nurturing, This frank series of “talking heads” style monologues invites audiences to take a glimpse at the everyday lives of six character who refuse to be defined by their pregnancies and encourages us to question our preconceptions of expectant mothers. Inspired by the work of writers such as Victoria Wood and Alan Bennet, the warts and all portrayals of these punchy and powerful characters will make you laugh, cry and cringe.
