Melbourne Theatre Company welcomes back Jane Turner (Kath & Kim) to MTC, taking centre-stage in April De Angelis’ West End hit, a hilarious domestic comedy of frazzled hopes and parental anxiety.

Hilary is turning 50 and in between feeling that life has passed her by, that her marriage is failing, and that her job is going nowhere, she is being driven to hair-clutching despair by her 15-year-old daughter, Tilly, grabbing every freedom that passing time has denied her mother.

Eventually, every liberal and fair-minded parent finds themselves at the head of a dictatorship. Jumpy takes aim at the contemporary mother-daughter relationship and with Pamela Rabe (Solomon & Marion) in the director’s chair, it’s a comedy sure to hit the mark.
