The Sorry Mum Project
Recently, writer and performer, Pippa Ellams, decided she should treat
her Mum better. It's not that she treats her that badly, they just clash
as people. Mum loves the colour red, Pippa hates red. Mum loves 'The
Block', Pippa likes good T.V shows.
Point is, after everything
they've been through Pippa feels like she's never apologised properly.
So she thought no better time than now... 1,375km away from home.
Fresh
out of a sell-out run at Bondi Feast, Pippa is taking her apology on the
road to prove that the depth of her sorry-ness doesn't stop at state
lines. Because just saying 'I'm sorry' to the person who literally made
you exist doesn't quite cut it.
'The Sorry Mum Project' is an
autobiographical, REAL (if not slightly OTT) apology-cum-performance
work dedicated to Pippa's Mum.
Please note since the guide has gone to print this event has been moved to the Exhibition Hall at the National Wine Centre.
