After a lengthy break from the West End, My Mother Said I Never Should has its first London revival in over 25 years. Playing at the St James Theatre, and spanning four generations of women and set against the massive social upheaval of the 20th century, My Mother Said I Never Should explores the difficult relationships between grandmothers, mothers and daughters. Charlotte Keatley's play is about the choices we make – from our place in society, our career or our position within our family – which determine the course of our lives and how it is never too late to change. It explores the belief that being a mother is at odds with being a professional success, and is a powerful story of love and jealously between mothers and daughters told through the stories of four generations of women. Directed by Paul Robinson, twice nominated for Best Artistic Director at the Off West End Awards in 2014 and 2015, this production is guaranteed to be spell-binding. “…shows how many generations it takes to learn how to love.” – The Sunday Times "Impeccable revival…Maureen Lipman is outstanding." – The Guardian "…beautifully, hilariously, heartbreakingly real." – whatsonstage.com ★★★★☆ – Evening Standard ★★★★☆ – The Times ★★★★★ – The Upcoming Runtime: 2 hours 30 minutes.
