Mamafied

In Mamafied, a world premiere solo show, Susanna Brisk hilariously chronicles her struggles with pre-partum depression, having two kids less than a year apart and the resulting hormonal havoc. The everyday realities of parenting prove too much for this Jewish Australian Princess, as she tries desperately to appear normal for her kids, slapping on a phony smile and saying "Mommy’s crying because she’s happy."

Organic earth mothers, Hollywood moms, a parenting expert, a nanny agent and her clients, a Doctor of Genetics and her own Eastern European Mama all seem to be conspiring to push Susanna over the edge, as she becomes each of them. When her solid marriage begins to be affected by the all consuming nature of mommy-hood, and Brisk becomes convinced that her children will end up with facial tattoos in a twelve-step program because of her heinous parenting, she boards a plane for Australia, ready to leave them all behind.
