Mum’s The Word at the Palace

Former soap star Gillian Taylforth will headline the new touring cast of Mum’s the Word, when it arrives in Manchester next month. She stars alongside Tracy Shaw and Sally Ann Matthews.

In Mum’s the Word, six mums come together to share their experiences about rearing their children in a series of humorous, moving and embarrassing stories – delivered as a monologues – that reveal the truth about how parenthood changes your life.

Originally seen in 1993 at the Vancouver Festival in Canada, the comedy was written by six female friends – Linda A Carson, Jill Daun, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Debora Williams and Pollard – about their own real-life experiences as mothers. It’s since been presented in Australia, Scotland the West End and on serveral UK tours.

Mum’s The Word is at the Palace Theatre, Manchester from 8 -10 July.
