FINAL CAST ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
We’re so excited to announce @ellaneyhayden as Tasha in Mothers and Daughters - a new dark comedy by @paris.leigh.rogers , directed by @kimburnettactor
Tasha thought meeting the parents would be awkward.
She just didn’t expect quite this level of chaos.
Between too much wine, oversharing mums, and family opinions nobody asked for, she’s left trying to keep the peace… while questioning why she agreed to any of this in the first place.
As the night unravels, Tasha quickly realises this isn’t your average family dinner.
Three generations.
One relationship milestone.
And a meeting of the parents that’s anything but straightforward.
📅 Wed 13th – Sat 30th May
🕢 19:30 (Sat performances 17:00)

THIRD CAST ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
We’re so excited to announce @tillysutcliffe as Jenna in Mothers and Daughters, a new dark comedy by @paris.leigh.rogers , directed by @kimburnettactor
Jenna thought introducing the parents would be a big relationship milestone.
A nice dinner.
A few drinks.
Everyone on their best behaviour.
Instead? Too much wine, unfiltered opinions, and a family gathering that quickly spirals.
Caught in the middle of three generations of very strong women, Jenna is just trying to make it through the night.
Three generations.
One relationship milestone.
And a meeting of the parents that’s anything but straightforward.

SECOND CAST ANNOUNCEMENT 📣😂
We’re delighted to announce @isabelford as Margret in Mothers and Daughters - a new dark comedy by @paris.leigh.rogers , directed by @kimburnettactor
Margret doesn’t do small talk, sugar-coating, or pretending everything’s fine.
She’s practical, straight to the point, and has absolutely no time for nonsense which might be exactly what this family gathering doesn’t need.
Three generations.
One relationship milestone.
And a meeting of the parents that’s anything but straightforward.

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT 📣😂
We’re thrilled to announce that Karen Henthorn will be playing Gill in Mothers and Daughters a brand new dark comedy by @paris.leigh.rogers Directed by @kimburnettactor
Gill is sharp, opinionated, and absolutely not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking… usually at exactly the wrong moment.
As one of the mums at the centre of it all, she brings the kind of honesty that turns a polite evening into something far more chaotic (and far more entertaining).
Three generations.
One relationship milestone.
And a meeting of the parents that spirals very quickly.

🦁 LIONS vs ELEPHANTS 🐘
Presented by @pai_productions
Two couples.
One evening.
And a clash of perspective that neither side can walk away from.
Set in Wilmslow at the turn of the millennium, Lions vs Elephants is a sharp, character-led comedy that digs into relationships, status, resentment and the quiet tensions bubbling under everyday life, all with a distinctly Northern voice.
