A moving portrait of class, gender, love, and the quiet cost of care.

Mother.Dad is a poignant two-hander exploring parenthood from two sides: a working-class single mother and a middle-class father. Told through parallel monologues and movement, their stories echo in theme but never meet, uncovering the raw, unspoken truths of raising children while still growing up themselves.
