Looking forward to taking this to The Joseph Rowntree Theatre!

When does motherhood end?

Elli Mackenzie asked women from all walks of life that very question - and 99% of them answered in exactly the same way, using the same words.

You'll have to come to the show to find out what that answer was.

Motherhood comes to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre on Sun 8 Nov - an autobiographical work of theatre from Oddsocks Productions that is by turns hilarious, heartbreaking and unbelievably honest. Elli shares the highs and lows of raising children whilst running a family business, alongside her husband Andy, an orangutan and a giant woodlouse.

"Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." - Elizabeth Stone

Age guidance 14+. Running time 75 minutes, no interval.

📅 Sun 8 Nov, 7:30pm

A Message from the Oddsocks Documentary team!

Hello wonderful donors! We hope you have had a glorious summer!

Thank you for your donations and your patience on this project. Whilst we have been quite quiet on the outside, lots of progress has been made behind the scenes!

As you are all aware this is a labour of love and not the work I (Charlie) am trained to do so everything takes longer, more research, more learning and unfortunately like every freelancer I have to divide my time wisely and find work to pay my bills!

I have been doing some very exciting prop making projects and continue to work with Oddsocks as Assistant Producer, alongside co-directing a new original community play in Belper!

Stef has been working hard at his day job and finding time (however limited) to developing his documentary projects as well as this one!

We also have brought in a couple of new members to the team! Video Editor Amir Rehman and Graphic Designer Mathilda Preater (An Oddsocks Baby!)

We have managed to finish the last key interviews which will be featured in the upcoming trailer and short film!

We want to know what you would like to see going forward? What information would you like to know?

Keep your eyes peeled for more details and content coming soon and keep sharing this fundraiser!
