SWEET CHILD OF MINE @ The Horse’s Mouth

Sweet Child of Mine features award winning performance artist Bron Batten and her 60 year-old parents live onstage.

Asking themselves and and the audience: what exactly is the POINT of art?

A mixture of theatre, dance, stand-up and awkward family function, Sweet Child of Mine is for anyone who has trouble talking to their parents about who they are – or what they do for a living.
