Rosemary is about to do a speech at her mother’s wedding. She’s not quite sure how to hit the right note as the relationship between Rosemary and her mother has been... less than rosy.
A co-dependent parental bond can become normalised and take years to unpick. Rosemary loves her Mum but she's ready to break the cycle of toxic behaviour. What tools will she used to achieve her goals?
The Wedding Speech is a "wildly relatable" and "poignant" piece which speaks to the impact of the primary relationship on an individual, and the blind spots it can create in a seemingly self-aware person.

Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
