Mother's Milk

Recommended by

  • Shaun Leisher: Mother's Milk

    A moving short play about what it means to long for a home that may never be perfect. Uuka wishes badly to return to South Africa now that Mandela is in leadership. Thandiwe see her family's future in America. They are given a unique opportunity to make one of their dreams come true. This is a play about being a foreigner and about the decisions a woman is able to make for her own body. Would love to see this produced.

    When your current land is no longer safe, what price will you pay to move elsewhere? A powerful piece that asks those difficult questions. Well done.

    In this short piece Diaz-Marcano dives straight into the struggle of people who've lost their home, possibly forever, and how much they're willing to give for a new one. I found the twists and turns so painful, it made me think back to all the ways the rich and powerful have exploited those in need, and how that will continue to play out without any real support for the people who've had the misfortune to be born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
