From delivery room to empty nest, Scotty is ready to lay it all bare. There is no more venerated and vexed role than the role of mother. Variously deified and vilified, mothers are adored and blamed in as many different ways as there are children (or former children) on the planet. Having a mum and being a mum leaves an indelible mark on all of us and is a bottomless well of stories from the trivial and everyday to the truly life altering. Scotty’s most ambitious show yet will bring together all of her stories on motherhood – both as a mother and as a daughter. Hilarious, intimate and rivetingly honest, this will be a night with one of Australia’s funniest storytellers laying it all bare on the most universal of themes. Mother Bare will be a night with an oddly joyful curmudgeon, taking the highs and lows of her own experience of motherhood to create a hilarious and occasionally startling celebration of all things ‘mum’. Having both been a mother and had a mother Scotty is at least as qualified as several billion other humans on this topic.
