We all have a mother, and an opinion about how she should be. Can a mother be allowed to be temperamental, impulsive, senseless, flaky, and still a mother, and a good one?
Raging Mother is a bitingly funny and honest portrayal of a mother’s life. It is a story of a volatile overachiever who is in constant competition with time and is not above flinging a burger on a wall. The play fearlessly challenges myths of motherhood and aims to shake them up. Here, she is simply a human being who just happens to be a mother, too.
Hanna Vahtikari, who is originally an actor, tackles motherhood holistically, revealing all: the unhinged everyday moments, the humour that emerges from the extremes, the repressed aggressions, and the love that underwrites it all. The play was seen at Edinburgh Fringe in 2022.
"A frank and funny show about the real struggles of motherhood."
