My Mom Tells Me Never Should is a game in three innings by Charlotte Keatley.
My Mom Tells Me Never Should Be was written in 1985 and first produced at Contact Theater in Manchester on February 25, 1987, directed by Brigid Larmour. The revised edition was aired at the Royal Court Theater in a production directed by Michael Attenborough on February 23, 1989 and in a revival that aired on September 29, 2009 at Watford Palace Theater, again directed by Brigid Larmour.
exploring themes of independence, growth and secrecy. A story that explores the lives and relationships of four generations of women: Doris, Margaret, Jackie, and Rosie. Their love, hope, and choice are fixed on major social changes in the 20th century. When Jackie is pregnant with Rosie, without a husband, she is unable to cope and surrender her baby to her mother, Margaret. The play sees the consequences of this secret and every woman's opinion about it. The drama has a minimalist set and is intentionally unrealistic. One of the most unrealistic things in the play is the junk land scene where all the characters become children. In these scenes, Doris became the youngest child at the age of 5, with Rosie at age 8 and Jackie and Margaret both. Some viewers say that "it works backwards on its own which can be somewhat confusing." The scene does not follow chronological order, so in one scene Margaret will become a child during the war entertained by her mother Doris and in next Jackie there will be children who visit her grandmother Doris. This can also be a bit confusing as it is not specifically mentioned how old the characters are in each scene, but most of it is very clear.
The main theme of the drama is relationship and motherhood. It addresses teen pregnancy issues, career priorities and single mothers. It's also about how different generations are free of the traditions and culture of their parents.
Margaret was caught in the middle between her mother and her daughter, Jackie, who has a daughter (Rosie) despite being unmarried.
Rosie's dad is named Graham, but he's married, when he gets Jackie pregnant...

They showed disgust at the idea of ​​little girls made up of 'sugar and spices and all good things' and then proposed the idea of ​​'killing their Mummies'. Eliminating younger Doris, they are wary of ingredients because their 'curses' are too real (like cleft lip) or too fantastic; and then summoned the spirit of their Grandmother, fleeing as a figure moving up onto the stage toward them The figure is Doris, now an adult and singing for the vibrant George Formby song on the radio. Her daughter, Margaret, was eight years old; surprising him by shouting 'pants' from under the piano. Doris insists on being called 'Mother' rather than 'Mummy', and encourages Margaret to practice the piano rather than answering her curious and living questions about the war and whether her parents say their prayers. The next scene shows Doris as grandmother with Jackie, Margaret's daughter; now tender and soft, in contrast to her relationship with Margaret.
