Mama Told Me Not To Come

Breaking Taboos: Mama Told Me Not To Come at Soho Theatre

Bold Exploration of British Asian Womanhood

In a theatre landscape hungry for authentic and diverse voices, Mama Told Me Not To Come promises to deliver a refreshingly candid portrayal of experiences often overlooked or misunderstood. The show is a vibrant mixture of humour, heartache, fantasy, and reality, as Poppy and Rubina dive headfirst into the messy realities of relationships, sexpectations, cultural pressures, and personal growth. With raw storytelling and infectious energy, the duo confronts societal taboos, challenging the stereotypes that frequently confine British Asian women in mainstream media.

The title, Mama Told Me Not To Come, hints at the generational tensions and cultural expectations threaded throughout the performance. It’s a nod to the advice, warnings, and rules passed down from parents, particularly mothers, that can shape—and sometimes complicate—a young woman’s journey to independence and self-expression. Through candid monologues and sharp comedy, the show explores how these inherited messages clash with modern desires and realities, creating a rich tapestry of humour, empathy, and empowerment.
