Sweet Mother play inspired by 'resilient' Toxteth women returns to Liverpool

A play created from the stories of women from Toxteth is set to return to Liverpool this month.

Arts Council England have funded local writer Maria Paul of Nwoko Arts for a national tour of her play Sweet Mother, which has been adapted from its first performance.

Writer Maria created Sweet Mother through verbatim interviews with dozens of women from Toxteth telling their stories of racism due to who they fell in love with. It tells the stories of four of these women who shared their experiences of raising families in 1950s to the 1980s in Toxteth.
