Moths, Mothers & Dead People
Ellie Drayton
‘Who puts their Dead Mum’s clothes in a bin liner?!’
The year is 3000 and man-eating moths have taken over the world.
In an absurd marriage between your not-so-typical monologue play and some really hideous stand-up comedy, Ellie Drayton has convinced herself that doing this show is her destiny. Frankly it's all she's got. She’s sick of the Mother’s Day emails, of the 'sorry for your loss' texts... and most of all, she's sick of the bags of her Mum’s moth-eaten clothes that she just can’t seem to get rid of.
Funny and moving in equal measure, this wacky one woman show examines the link between the holes in our clothes and the people shaped holes in our lives.
