WIPING MY MOTHER’S ARSE
Written by Iain Heggie
Directed by Sam Hardie
A Pitlochry Festival Theatre Production
Yes, that’s the actual title. No, we’re not changing it.
A care home. A complicated son. A mother with secrets. This one’s darkly funny, unexpectedly tender, and hits different if you’ve ever had to navigate messy family dynamics (so… everyone). A sold-out Fringe hit, back and bolder than ever.
