"Unnerving... simply extraordinary..." - The Times

Jonathan Maitland's brand-new broadway blockbuster is storming the stages of the King's Head Theatre in London this October, introducing How to Survive Your Mother to the West End fans in London.

From 23rd October to 24th November at King's Head Theatre in London

Get ready to immerse yourself into How To Survive Your Mother, the true story of a Technicolor Woman in a black and white world, penned by the creative genius behind Dead Sheep and The Interview, Jonathan Maitland.  

How do you navigate a crazy, glamorous, narcissistic, scandal-loving mother? Especially when her idea of fun is to turn your 1970s family home into Britain’s first ever gay hotel?

After a chance meeting, a writer is lead to investigate his mother's secret past, trawling through the memories of her consistently-colourful life. 

The writer decides that it's a perfect subject matter for a play - but should he be exposing her private life to the public, purely for entertainment?

And why is he starring in the play as himself?

One of the best up-and-coming plays in London

"Scathing... excoriating... a five-star cracker," - Daily Mail

With Writer Jonathan Maitland and director Oliver Dawe, How To Survive Your Mother is guaranteed to be one of the best up-and-coming west end theatre shows in London, tackling the struggles of traditions, moral values, and the modern world.
