Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The Alexandra, Birmingham review

Unsworth's direction ensures the whole never pauses for breath as we are swept along with the narrative so that, as an uncomplicated farce, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is a triumph; and for that reason, the superficiality of the characterisation and relationships won't matter for many who seek a good laugh on a night out.

No-one's going to mistake Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em for essential theatre, but the accomplished cast and Unsworth's affectionate approach makes for an entertaining, retro evening. As our hapless hero might put it: "Mmmm. Nice!"
