New Perspectives and Royal & Derngate present

(the) Woman

by Jane Upton

“So good we thought it was written by a man!”

M is a woman. M is a writer. M is a mother.

Catapulted from the crest of a hit play and hijacked by motherhood – the wild nights out have been replaced by evenings in with baby and a breastpump. Suddenly M is burnt out, angry, lonely, unsure and, quite frankly, terrified of the future.

She wants to tell her story, her way. But, everyone around her shares their opinions on who she is, who she should be and how she’s f**king everything up.

From award-winning writer Jane Upton, this 2022 Bruntwood Prize shortlisted play is relatable, funny and a painful scream from the abyss of early motherhood.
