Wrestival – Mummy Vs

Being a parent and a wrestler are not dissimilar. The pay is bad. Your body hurts. No matter how hard you try, the rest of the world thinks your efforts are often ridiculous. Who would win in a battle between Instagram and the NHS? Can a working Mum fight off the patriarchy armed only with wine and self belief? Using live wrestling, interviews, monologue and a cast of the best wrestlers in London, Mummy Vs is a bold kick to the face of outdated views on what a parent should be. Set against the backdrop of lockdown Britain, Mummy Vs is the personal account of Heather Bandenburg’s experiences of raising a baby & her battles with identity. As well as raising awareness through interviews and stories from the frontline of raising the next generation, the production hopes to show the brilliant resilience of parents in a way that is impossible to ignore.
