Dead Darling Theatre: Unmothered
13 March @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm AEDT

A lyrical, memory-driven song cycle that traces three generations of women through love, silence, and inherited trauma. Told in three acts across the daughter’s life, the “unforgettable modern musical” (The Scoop) moves fluidly through live music to blur reality with recollection.
From the award-winning team behind ‘Bimbo’ (Holden Street Theatres Award 2023) comes a new work of bold feminist theatre.
“Unmothered bridges generational female perspectives through tenderness, honesty, and beautifully crafted storytelling.” The Scoop
Created by a powerhouse team of South Australian artists, ‘unmothered’ examines the complexities of maternal love: the longing to be nurtured, the fear of repeating harm, and the struggle to break cycles of silence.
