Milk and Gall – Theatre 503
2016, a woman giving birth and an election. This play follows Vera, (MyAnna Buring) trying to understand being a mother in a very hopeless climate, one she certainly didn’t wish for and one she may have even decided to not have a child in- if she could start again.

The struggles matched with the consistent worry of the outside world, the wanting to do more and fighting politics with her husband’s mother.
