Mum Points

Three women. Nine months. With each flip of a coin, you write their story.

This isn’t your typical lecture, workshop or seminar. Step into the shoes of patients, midwives, social workers and nurses in this powerful, research-based theatre game that explores the difficult decisions, the crises and realities of drug dependency and motherhood.

Created by acclaimed writer and director Jude Christian, this unique production blends research from King’s College London’s The Stepping Stones Study and powerful theatre created by Outside Edge Theatre Company – the UK’s only theatre company dedicated to addiction. The Stepping Stones Study explored care pathways for female-identifying mothers and their babies. We use the language of Mum & mother, but it applies to everyone who gives birth.

Tickets are free. We encourage trainee and practicing midwives, nurses, social workers, service providers, and anyone who wants to develop their knowledge and skills in trauma-informed care for vulnerable mothers and their infants to attend.

These are the only performances taking place outside of London.

The play is aimed at Student Midwives, Social Workers, Health Visitors and all registered professionals who would encounter these women/birthing individuals, e.g Midwives, Specialist Midwives, Social Workers, Health Visitors and those thinking of starting a career in the above professions.
