The Play About Mom is a stage production at Folketeatret in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is staged on the Hippodromen stage, one of the venue's performance spaces, and runs from Wednesday 12 May to Saturday 5 June, with shows starting at 20:00.
What the show is about
The production looks at motherhood and the pressures that come with it. It takes in the polished image of the perfect mom often seen on Instagram, the advice found in self-help books, and the less visible reality behind the scenes, where laundry and expectations pile up. Children are often described as a gift, the play suggests, yet the role of mother can be hard to cope with.
Is it worth going?
This is a theatre evening for those interested in contemporary themes around family life and the gap between how parenthood looks and how it feels. It may appeal to parents, to people thinking about having children, and to anyone curious about how the stage handles everyday personal subjects.
