Nicola Cheeseman is Back
by Kathryn Burnett

Nicola Cheeseman is sick of trying to do it all.

Now, armed with a chaotic vision board, a killer vinyl jumpsuit, and a craving to be more than “just Mum,” she’s falling apart to put herself back together.
Starring the brilliant Jodie Rimmer in her first-ever solo show, and written by award-winning playwright Kathryn Burnett (Under the Vines, My Life is Murder), this is a hilarious, heartfelt ride through midlife mayhem.
