Sophie is about to become a single mum – a third-generation one – and she's terrified
How will she afford to feed her baby?
Or a Deluxe Snuggle Pod?
Can she hold on to her job?
What if she's crap at parenthood?
Surely she can count on her mum and nan to help...
Except mum's got used to having a life of her own, and doesn't fancy giving up pole-dancing class and Tinder to go back to changing nappies and no sleep
Meanwhile, fresh out of hospital with a broken leg, nan's having a three-quarter-life crisis of her own
From slammed doors to living-room karaoke, Lydia Marchant's play Mumsy is a sparky, soulful comedy drama about the highs and lows of motherhood
