mother/land
audwin transcribes the words of better men, distributing them around a newly-divided city, but rebellion comes at a price. as the stasi close in, audwin must decide who he can really trust, and how he can keep them safe.
a scratch performance of mother/land was shared at the headgate theatre, colchester in march 2020.
