Griffin Theatre Company: Griffin Theatre: Mum Club
22 August @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

Welcome to Mum Club.
- Rule One: Every mum is held with love and kindness, no matter who they are.
- Rule Two: Drink cow’s milk, and you’re OUT.
Sadie’s just moved to Sydney. She’s a young Yuin mum, completely fried from trying to settle a screaming baby in a rental the size of a change table.
What she needs is a support network. Instead, she stumbles into the Inner West Mum Club. There’s Corporate Mum (took a Zoom call an hour after crowning), Antivax Mum (burns sage at sleepovers) and Well-Meaning Mum (acknowledges Country every time she enters a new postcode).
They’re all Sadie’s got by way of friends. But as the pressure to “do motherhood right” intensifies, Sadie starts to question what she’s willing to compromise on to find community.
From the mind of the luminously funny Jorjia Gillis and director Shari Sebbens (Blaque Showgirls, Superheroes), Mum Club is a sharp takedown of modern parenting culture – and a love letter to the messy, funny, glorious resilience of Blak motherhood.
