"Being in The Motherload was the best thing I have done in as long as I can remember. Before it started I was completely terrified but by the end I was feeling joyously alive and there were many moments in between when I was laughing so hard I cried. I found the show's deeper side unexpectedly moving too. Some of the quotes from other mothers took my breath away. They made me realise that although everyone's experience of motherhood is unique; many of our highs (heart-piercingly tender, precious and fleeting) and our lows (often unspoken, even amongst friends) at each stage of the journey are startlingly similar. Sitting in the theatre I felt a sense of connection that was a consolation and an inspiration. I wished that every parent could see the show - the amazing team who made it deserve funding for essential services to humankind."
