SPIKED

Written, directed and designed by mothers but more importantly performed by three women in their forties, SPIKED is triumphantly created entirely by an age bracket underrepresented in theatre. This production at Pleasance Theatre tackles school gate segregation and cross-culturalism, aiming to inspire women to further share their experiences.

Thrown together in an A&E waiting room, three mothers anxiously await news after their teenage children are taken ill at their London school. Despite very different backgrounds, as each mother confronts the unresolved tensions in their lives, the boundaries between them break down, forcing them to question their own relationships and their most heartfelt beliefs.
