The Festival of New Theatre
My Mum Stitches By Ana Mulipola
A Playreading

When her mother dies, Teuila is left to piece together a life shaped by love, sacrifice and migration across Samoa and Aotearoa.

Guided by the voices of her inner child and grandmother, she journeys through memory, grief and healing, finding strength in the stories passed between generations.

Woven with poetry and song, My Mum Stitches is a powerful and deeply personal exploration of family, identity and belonging. Tender, lyrical and uplifting, it celebrates the threads that connect us to those we have lost and carry forward with us.

Don't just see one story, see all three. Get a Festival Feast pass for all three playreadings and the panel discussion, the best value way to experience the festival.
