The story is super powerful, and it created a more impactful side to motherhood.  The synopsis of the story delves into the complexities and resilience of the whole womanhood and motherhood aspect, it further tells the story about a mother, called Amber, who fights for her daughter’s health who is fighting cerebral palsy, and her name is Bea. The stage configuration illustrates a boxing ring to win the support for her daughter, the whole story shows great emotion and conflict with the facing of cerebral palsy and the role of being a mother going against the system.

The performance I went and saw with my College, BGLZ, was led by Micha Williams, her performance was incredible, and her portrayal has widely influential in the theatre.  The acting led by the actress is praised for its emotional depth and physicality due to its practical on-stage boxing techniques.  The character Amber has great purpose in the play, she is the protagonist and is a compelling person. The actress plays her outstandingly well and with the physicality, and the acting was amazing. Micha shows great significance when using the boxing ring that symbolizes a determination to fight for her daughters’ rights, this made me super emotional because of how well she portrayed the characters feelings.

The themes within the play are very vulnerable when it shows the depth of an innocent family’s life.  The lengths that a mother will go through for her child is empowering, and this play definitely shows the strength that Amber goes through, but also the upsetting side to it too.   The theme of fighting is the main theme of the play, and it adds that unique adaptation to the story’s main focus.  Furthermore, the boxing metaphor demonstrates the emotional and powerful dimension to the narrative: this emphasizes the intensity of Ambers struggle while dealing with life.

In summary, the Mum Fighter play is a powerful story written by Tracy Harris, and it explores her own struggle.  Harris has a son with the disability, Cerebral Palsy and has created a perfect adaptation of her personal life to a stage show demonstrating the battle she went through herself. With the joint amazing writing and performance, the play is overall incredible, and the theatrical experience creates such a moving atmosphere within the theatre that leaves the audience grasping for what happened next, and how proud that the audience is when Amber wins the fight mentally and physically.
