Comfortably Mum

by Christopher Plumridge

With a subtle nod to the Pink Floyd song, Sophie, a tired and stressed mum at her young daughters birthday turns to wine, while telling another mum part of her life story.

A Monologue. Drama with comedy.

Contains some profanity and discussion of disability.

Comfortably Mum

    I absolutely love it when writers "riff" on music, namely songs, be it jazz, country, rock, et al. I've been hooked on Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" since it's debut on the album "The Wall" in 1982. And Mr. Plumridge's riff, "Comfortably Mum", serves as an engaging, funny and even poignant comment on a well known classic rock tune. I can only pray to see it live!!

    This monologue beautifully captures the balance of coping with life's challenges and finding comfort in the everyday. I do believe it’s working, good.

    If you need further proof that having children is like going off to war, look no further than this cracker of a monologue by Chris Plumridge. It exudes an almost battlefront weariness as Sophie drinks to ease her troubles, the hand, a reminder that her battles have left some scars. Plus, that great title!
