Lovely Day explores motherhood through a specific popular-culture lens; Mumsnet.
New to Mumsnet? Don’t worry! Lovey Day walks you through day-in-the-life of a Mumsnet ‘Yummy Mummy’. Prepare to delve deep into hard-hitting domestic debates and dig in to the delicious Mumsnet diet.
Lovely Day addresses the absurdity of online chat forums and explores how they impact modern-day communication.
The piece is unnerving it its attempt to personify the anonymous voices of Mumsnet and explore the strangeness of what these exchanges become when translated through a visceral body.
The development of Lovely Day has been supported by Manchester School of Theatre, Camden People’s Theatre and FemFest 2024’s Early Career Artist scheme.
