“She loved being a Mum… until he got a personality”
WINNER: Fringe First, Edinburgh Fringe 2024
Son of a Bitch is a brutally honest and darkly funny monologue about a woman who is caught on camera calling her 4 year old son a c*nt during an air-rage incident.
When the video goes viral, Marnie's life violently unravels. Now the whole world knows her darkest secret, but what happened before someone pressed record and captured the worst 10 seconds of her life?
Written and performed by award winning comedian, actor and writer Anna Morris, this Fringe First winning hit play features integrated creative captioning throughout.
This debut play is a bold and playful one woman piece about maternal ambivalence.
All performances will feature integrated creative captioning.
