MUM* Guilt Confessional

Hungry Hearts
Welcome to the Ministry of MUM* Guilt, a sanctuary for all the *Main Unpaid Minders who have attempted the impossible task of parenting, and all those who have ever been parented.

In this House we welcome the weary, the worn out, the weed-upon. Be guided by robed clergymums through MUM* Mass from confession to absolution, in a silly sacrament that is part ceremony, part comedy, part act of solidarity.

Drawn from the real confessions of parents all over the country and compiled in the Big Book of MUM* Guilt, this performance is a cathartic and heart-warming love letter to parents who are doing the best they can.

Expect laughter, recognition, tears and a tiny teddy or two. Enter guilty and leave reborn, with the knowledge that you are not alone.

MUM* Guilt Confessional is brought to you by Hungry Hearts, a Darwin collective of award-winning theatre makers (Alyson Evans, Sean Pardy and Ciella Williams) with a passion for storytelling with heart.
