NHB Sep 28 Very thought provoking, especially for any parent to either a girl or a boy. See more Zoe C @ZoeClaire 5d I can be empathetic to moms whose sons commit crimes against women, but I can't be empathetic to moms who cover up the sexual crimes for their sons while believing they have done nothing wrong, it's all society's fault, they are just poor little weaklings trapped in a system. The whole show is a demand for my emotional labor on behalf of a choice they made that also enables the structure that contributes to my oppression as a woman. We don't talk enough about boy moms' active roles as perpetrators. We don't talk about them at all. We are just expected to extend to them the same compassion they themselves explicitly withhold from their sons' victims. I'm tired. I done hearing them cry about how difficult their life is how "feminist" they are when they choose to protect their sons because apparently, you can't be a feminist when your son is a sexual offender. You should shield him until he experiences a divine enlightenment and turns himself in so you are free.

I didn't know what to expect as this had been recommended to my wife by her friends, and I just sat back and thought I hope it would be interesting. It was a powerful, sometimes funny but very emotional play, especially if you have children and was not only thought provoking but also made us, as parents wonder, how good we really are at parenting. Rosamund is now one of my favourite actors. The set and staging were brilliant, taking us from a court rooms, to a kitchin, lounge, bedroom, kids play ground and to a party without changing much scenery at all. Rosamund managed in the same way to portray all the roles that a successful career woman, mother, wife and friend has to play in her life whilst at the same time becoming lots of other characters she interacts with. Brilliant, we loved this. See more Raquel K @RT59411637 Oct 15 It got off to an interesting start - set in a court presided over by a judge ( played by Rosamund Pike). Although the acting was pretty faultless, the story was very, very predictable. Other issues raised in the play - professional woman juggling parenting and work, husband perceived as not handling a more successful wife, monosyllabic teenager etc etc. - were also old hat and predictable. I was bored by the end. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 26 Funny in 1.75 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
