Milkdrunk

by Cathleen O'Malley

A solo play in one act. MILKDRUNK is an ode, an homage, and a primal scream from the trenches of first time motherhood. Crackling with humor, physicality, and a searing vulnerability, MILKDRUNK plunges the audience headfirst (and tit-deep) into childbirth, milk, and what it takes to be a nursing mammal in a modern world... a path littered with laughter, tears, and a spray of Liquid Gold.

    A brave, honest play about the real live experiences of motherhood and the various dimensions of the experience of birth.

    Cathleen O'Malley takes the audience through rawness of motherhood in all its glory. Wrapped up in all the milk, pain, laugher and love. Perfect show for a fringe or solo festival!
