MotherLode

MotherLode is a Verbatim Theatre Project about Motherhood produced by The Hub Studio and Rue de la Rocket.

7 actresses interview 7 real life mothers from all walks of life about life as a Mother and what it’s really like. Every word spoken on stage is direct from the interviews verbatim – not one word is changed. The actresses with expert accuracy replicate the voices and physicality of the Mothers interviewed.

The strictly limited season cannot be extended, be sure not to miss out!

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project gives a voice to the many women whose lives are changed by Motherhood. Verbatim theatre is rarely seen on Australian stages and is a visceral, honest and creative method of story-telling – we can guarantee this won’t be your average theatre show.

The characters are real, the stories are real, the language is real. In the name of supporting working mothers – the actresses are all also Mothers themselves.

Directed by Verbatim Theatre Veteran Dean Carey, the show focuses on strength of Mothers as well as the power Mothers hold for the future of this world. Dean’s thoughts on Verbatim can be seen below.

“I love the immediacy of this style of theatre and the way it captures the heartbeat and truth within communities. I don’t know of a theatrical format that can instantly personalise an issue or give voice to a community or culture like Reality Theatre. Hearing someone’s voice and their words channeled through someone else allows the audience to immerse themselves with a sense of deep curiosity. This openness to inquiry connects audience and character in a unique and compelling way,” Dean said.
