Mumsy was written for and first performed at Hull Truck just last year. The Lace Market Theatre is the first company to put the show on since and after reading one of the opening night reviews, Lydia Marchant (playwright for Mumsy) sent a message of congratulations. After a short exchange we invited her along to watch the Saturday matinée performance and we were thrilled when she accepted.

After watching the show and stopping afterwards to have a chat with some of the cast and crew Lydia had a few photos with the team before heading on her way.

This morning we received the following message from Lydia.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the cast and creatives of Mumsy at the Lace Market Theatre for doing such a beautiful, funny and tender job with the play. All 3 performers were amazing, you each totally got the characters and made them your own, the production was fab and I was so pleased with the audience reaction.

Lovely to meet you all and thanks for making me feel so welcome at the theatre.
