Purple Moon presents: The Wedding Speech
Purple Moon Drama is coming to Poplar Union with the ‘wildly relatable’ debut play by Cheryl May Coward-Walker. This new comedy about co-dependency exploring a toxic bond between a glamourous and critical mother and her long-suffering daughter.
What to expect
Rosemary is about to do a speech at her mother’s wedding. She’s not quite sure how to hit the right note as the relationship between Rosemary and her mother has been… less- than- rosy. As she revs up for her big moment on her mother’s Big Day, we realise maybe the apple hasn’t fallen very far from the tree. The play looks at the origins of poor self-esteem and the insidious effects of emotional abuse.
The Wedding Speech will embark on a London tour in 2023. Starring Princess Donnough (Robin Hood & Talia Versus) and Directed by Simone Watson-Brown (British History Retold & Work That Pussy).
