Motormouse Productions Present GOD'S WAITING ROOM Next Month

"An end of life comedy."

Mother is dying slowly, the wait is unbearable, the pressures insurmountable, the thoughts unbelievable. Surely a gesture towards God's bigger plan is needed? Sisters, Stella and Connie may be different from one another but share a common and profound love for their Mother. Can things really continue as they are?

A success at last year's Camden Fringe, this production has galvanized interest from the issues and humour raised within it.

Karen Bartholomew is a British playwright whose work is published with Wireless Theatre and PlaydeadPress. She has been shortlisted for awards with the BBC, Old Vic, Bread&Roses and Blackshaw Theatre. Her work has toured with Bootleg Productions, Motormouse Productions and Bootcamp Theatre will produce 'Spin City' later this year.

Bartholomew's previous work has been described as - 'Her one-woman show is hysterical - Mariella Frostrup and for 'God's Waiting Room' "A brave, and moving piece of writing. Moments of intimacy catch you unawares amid the humour. Beautifully mixing laughs with unbearable pain." - Ruth D'Silva
