Anyone who has had the misfortune—excuse me, blessing—of having a baby will relate to this wry, funny and poignant cabaret about the sheer horror—sorry, joys, challenges and disillusions—of marriage and parenthood. It's possibly the world's worse kept secret that having kids sucks sometimes. Yet still we persist in procreating, and this is the subject of Amity Dry's musical Mother, Wife and the Complicated Life. The story is familiar, and that’s because the experience is almost universal.
