Son of a Bitch is a brilliant showcase for the multi-talented Anna Morris, who writes and performs a searing monologue about the repercussions of a mother's weak moment, caught on video screaming unspeakable language at her son. Morris's sharp script is packed with pathos and lots of laughs, her writing infused with wit, which is further emphasised by her pitch-perfect comic timing.


Written and performed by award-winning comedian, actor and writer Anna Morris, Son of a Bitch is a brutally honest and darkly funny monologue about a woman who is caught on camera calling her 4-year-old son a c*nt during an air-rage incident. When the video goes viral, Marnie's life violently unravels. Now the whole world knows her darkest secret, but what happened before someone pressed record and captured the worst 10 seconds of her life? This debut play is a bold one-woman piece about maternal ambivalence.
