Mumfighter
A mum, her disabled child, a broken system…the fight of her life.
Mumfighter is about a mother fighting for support and services; and the everyday battles faced in a world full of prejudice. Based on the Swansea-born writer Tracy Harris’ personal experience of having a child who has Cerebral Palsy.
A moving, exhilarating and essential play about resilience, hope, and going the distance.
