Mama Does Derby – Ages 12+ (Town Hall)
For ages 12+
A single mum, a teenage daughter, and a new life in a regional town where neither quite fits. Billie is 16 and restless, trying to navigate the chaos of adolescence. Mum, meanwhile, is spinning into a rebellion of her own – in the sweaty, rough and radical world of roller derby.
Fresh from winning the 2024 Scotsman First Fringe Award for Outstanding New Writing for her play Cyrano, writer and actress Virginia Gay (Calamity Jane) returns with this heartwarming and boisterous story about what holds a family together. Conceived and directed by Windmill’s Clare Watson, this world premiere production turns the Sydney Town Hall into a full-scale roller derby track for an epic mother-daughter story where theatre, sport, live music and immersive spectacle collide.
Action-packed, hilarious and heartfelt, Mama Does Derby is about resilience and reinvention, about getting knocked down and getting back up again.
