Three siblings, a box of full of cassette tapes and a dress. But which one will become Mother today? The perfect dysfunctional family is finally resurrected in a ritual that quickly spirals out of control.
A form-pushing new play by Nadia Cavelle, Subject Mater is a loosely autobiographical, daringly imaginative journey into the mother/child relationship and what it takes to break free.
