Step into a cosy and unforgettable winter evening with Mama Stitch — a heartfelt celebration of mums in all their beauty, messiness, strength and vulnerability. Blending powerful storytelling with live music, Whiskey & Boots bring together the voices of Kepa Kurl Esperance community members in a moving performance about motherhood, childhood and the ties that shape us.
Using the captivating form of headphone verbatim theatre — where actors wear headphones and repeat recorded interviews live, word for word — Mama Stitch is honest and deeply human. Stories unfold with humour, tenderness and emotion, becoming at once profoundly relatable. Some stories you may recognise, while others will leave you wondering.
Adding another layer to the evening, George Gare and Bridget Turner of Kettelefish perform original live musical responses inspired by the collected stories, drawing out rich emotion with warmth, depth and soul.
Heart-warming, intimate and full of connection, Mama Stitch is more than a performance — it’s a shared experience.
“If you enjoy a performance that makes you Feel All The Things, Mama Stitch will not disappoint.” — Claire Coleman, Seesaw Magazine
“If you haven’t seen this show, or booked, you better because when it leaves people will tell you how good it was… then you’ll regret it.”
— Jon Doust, Albany
