Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Things have taken a turn for the worse at the annual Presidential Election Meeting of the Winklehampton Green Combined Primary Academy Parent-Teacher Association.
When notorious 'unschooler' Maude Collywobble-Pratt announces her last-minute candidacy, she shocks both her opponent, tightly-wound dictator-in-the-making Jennifer Nails, and the eager to please, slightly sinister Secretary, Fay. What lengths will they go to to stay on top? What lengths have they already gone to? One thing's for sure though, it's every mum for herself.
Carry out your civic duty in this interactive black comedy about bureaucracy, neurodivergence and women on their very last nerve.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
