These are true stories, told with real tears. Four girls act out verbatim conversations with their own mothers in a delightful piece of theatre that turns out to be just as touching as the concept itself.
The multitude of events that can affect four different women is extraordinary. As teens, there are crushes, boys, silly dates and smooching; but there are also quite unforgettable moments, like being picked on by the Mean Girls or seeing grossly unjust abuse over dropping a slice of bread.
As adults, the intertwining of joy, heartbreak and devastation continues: being blissful when a marriage begins; honeymooning at the Isle of Wight; a child is born dead; miscarriages are a fact of life; and a marriage ends when an affair is admitted one Christmas night.
It’s all told charmingly by these grateful daughters, and one could scarcely think of a more beautiful way to honour their very different, but all very phenomenal, mothers.
