How To Survive Your Mother is the incredible true story of a Technicolor Woman living in a black-and white-world at the King's Head Theatre by Jonathan Maitland (An Audience with Jimmy Savile, Dead Sheep, The Interview)
Exactly how do you navigate your way around a crazy, narcissistic, glamorous, scandal-loving mother whose idea of fun is to turn your lovely 1970s family home into the first-ever gay hotel in Britain?
After a chance meeting, a writer begins to investigate his mother’s secret past and trawls through the many memories of her colourful life. It makes perfect subject matter for a play, but should he really be putting her private life on display for public entertainment? And why on earth is he starring in the play as himself?
