Wonderwoman: The Naked Truth
One dream. Two mothers. Three small kids. No bedtime routine, and the show must go on.
Does Your Baby Have a Bedtime Routine?
Wonderwoman: The Naked Truth tackled issues around feeling shamed and being shamed by other parents about our “inadequacies” as parents. Does your baby have a bedtime routine? No? Shame on you! Do you eat chocolate? Yes, you know your post pregnancy body won’t thank you! Shame on you!

“Very honest! No one speaks it out but it’s the truth. Great show that made me laugh”
Audience Member
“Thank you for allowing us to feel comfortable and showing us that being a mother is difficult, is demanding and doesn’t define who you are but it does give us power and strength when we acknowledge that we aren’t perfect.”

History
Wonderwoman: The Naked Truth was developed with funding from Arts Council England. It received it is first performance at Mac, Birmingham in May 2016 and went on to tour to Stamford Arts Centre, Riverhead Theatre, Upstairs at the Western, Lincoln Drill Hall, Newhampton Arts Centre and Palace Theatre, Redditch.
At each venue we offered BYOB (bring your own baby) performances. Parents and carers were encouraged to come along for a great theatre experience, without needing to spend out on a babysitter. BYOB performances were adapted so that babies were not disturbed and the actors were fully prepared to work around crying, shouting or even stage invasions from little ones.
