My name is Emmett and I am thrilled to announce our production of Pramkicker, a dark comedy taking place at The Hen and Chickens Theatre Bar, running from 16-18th and 23rd-25th September.

I am the Edith f*cking Piaf of the empty womb. Je ne regrettay f*cking rien.
Jude has always known she doesn't want kids. Her sister Susie isn't sure if her ovaries are twinging or if she just needs a wee.
One day, in a café full of 'yummy mummies', Jude loses the plot and kicks a pram. Then gets arrested. Then gets sent to anger management. Susie goes along for the ride and uses the opportunity to confess a secret.



TW: contains discussion and depiction of rape; contains discussion of abortion and drug abuse

We believe that Pramkicker offers a unique blend of humour and poignant commentary that will resonate with audiences and provoke thought.
What particularly drew us to this script is its portrayal of the relationship between the sisters. It expertly shows the varying layers within sisterhood, and how the love between them will always bring them back to one another despite any strains they may have between them. We also highly appreciate the text’s ability to address heavy topics – such as rape and abortion – in a way that refuses to shy away from the intensity of them, whilst maintaining a humanity within their portrayals. Motherhood is an overarching theme within the play, offering differing views on the matter and exploring the difficulties that can accompany the decision on whether or not to enter it.

Our cast and creatives are as follows:
Emmett Hughes as 'Susie', and our Producer
Amelia Mazurek as 'Jude'
Elizabeth Green as 'Janet'
Eve Lamb is our Director
Marie Drisch is our Fight Director and Intimacy Coordinator
Jack Fairhurst is our Technical Operator
Sue Kim is our Composer

We of course would love for as many seats to be filled as possible and so are reaching out to you with this in mind.
We look forward to the possibility of sharing this experience with you and hearing your insights.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to seeing you there!
