PRAMKICKER BY SADIE HASLER

Pramkicker by Sadie Hasler

Meet PRAMKICKER… (she kicked a f*cking pram).

Jude is angry. Susie’s mainlining custard again.

When Jude is arrested for kicking off in a café full of passive-aggressive "yummy mummies," she’s sent to anger management. Susie, determined to make sure Jude’s next jumpsuit isn’t one with a serial number, tags along. But Susie’s not just there for moral support—she’s nursing secrets of her own. In this no-holds-barred, G&T-fuelled D&M, the sisters dive into the mess of adulting, expectations of motherhood, and a woman’s worth. It’s a middle finger to the labels we’re forced to wear, and a chance to figure out who the hell we are now we’re all grown up. MO Theatre invites you to your court-mandated session—BYO feminine rage.

Sadie Hasler’s hit play is a vulnerable, potty-mouthed love-letter to modern women. In a climate where a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body remains stubbornly, maddeningly relevant, PRAMKICKER plucks the discussion of reproductive rights out of the mouths of politicians and places it back where it belongs.

PRAISE FOR PRAMKICKER

★★★★
“Spiky, lively, foul-mouthed”

— Three Weeks


“Pramkicker is an uncompromising exploration of gendered questions…an exuberant character-based comedy to keep you laughing at unpredictable intervals”

— The Age


“A rip roaring-good time”

— Milk Bar Mag


“Hasler’s warm and delightfully swear-filled script skewers the cultural invisibility of women who choose to reject the roles laid out for them, and is also a touching meditation on sisterhood and self-love”

— The Scotsman


“Desperately funny…takes a potshot at a few sacred cows as the author explores what it means to be a modern woman."
