Broken Water

Michèle Winstanley’s Broken Water premieres at The Arcola Theatre

The acclaimed play exploring the experience of motherhood, – and not motherhood.

Broken Water is a story about the effect motherhood has on three women at three different stages of life.  It is a play less about holding babies than about the love we hold for our babies when they are not there to receive it. Ultimately, Broken Water is a play about love.
