Stories from the Stage

Maternal Instinct

Motherhood takes many forms, born of love, loss, and the courage to embrace the unpredictable. Joy proves that family is built through resilience as much as biology; Trish becomes both Mum and Dad after the sudden loss of her husband; and Julia finds strength in letting go after a pregnancy heartbreak. Three storytellers, three interpretations of MATERNAL INSTINCT. Hosted by Theresa Okokon.
