“I want to spend my forties eating poppadoms in my knickers, not pretending to care that someone went down a slide.”
Natal Attraction is a wickedly funny solo show about motherhood, “barrenhood,” and the expectation that women should want to nurture at all costs. Through five vividly drawn women from across the UK, the show rips into what happens when desire, doubt, and duty collide with the ticking clock.
Mischievous, sharp, and quietly resonant, Natal Attraction shines a light on the messy, contradictory realities of the female experience - and asks who we’re really trying to please, and why.
