EXCITING, glamorous, professional actors who became exhausted, bedraggled amateur mums tell their story in a hilarious show.

Mum's The Word was written by six Canadian women with 10 children under six between them.

"Everyday I start out Mary Poppins but end up Cruella de Vil," said one.

The trials and tribulations of motherhood without rose tinted spectacles features an all star cast at Liverpool's Empire Theatre, from May 24-29.

Brookside actresses Sarah White and Polly Highton, Rebecca Wheatley of Casualty, Kim Hartman of Allo, Allo, Maureen Nolan of The Nolans and Julie Wallace of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil will tell it as it is.

Tickets are £10-£20.
