The Motherload
Event description
The Motherload is an interactive live gameshow where two teams compete for the crown of Ultimate Queen Mumma.
For each performance four guest mum ‘contestants’ join The Motherloadhost and Team Captains on stage for a series of bizarre, boisterous and downright hilarious tasks torn from the very real experiences of motherhood. Guaranteed to provide laughter, relatability and catharsis for mothers and non-mothers alike.
Nominated for the 2022 Tasmanian Theatre Awards - Outstanding Ensemble Professional Theatre and Outstanding New Writing.
"The three performers are buoyant, joyous, spontaneous, clever, resourceful … perfect, in fact. As directed by Julie Waddington, the show is intelligent, generous, warm and laugh-out-loud funny."
