Did anyone go see this? Did it go ahead? I really wanted to but I live in Birmingham and had to attend a birthday party. Can't find reviews or news about it anywhere. Surprised I haven't seen mass protests videos outside the theatre.

Surprised Eventbrite was happy to manage the ticketing for this - must have slipped past the censors!

I did read somewhere it was sold out and they're hoping to take it elsewhere, sorry can't find where I saw it. Would have loved to have gone but it was too far.

That would be great. Unfortunately it was on one of the rail strike days and in my experience trying to travel by rail on those days is pretty stressful.

I went! So glad to find some Mums on here who may think similarly to me. I've been attacked on here many times for pointing out the politicisation of schools and bringing toxic ideologies into schools and Mermaids certainly were one of those organisations. It was a great evening. Astounding/shocking to listen to the transcripts of the case - and very touching. People who had been very close to this were very moved to tears. Quite a special evening. So glad I went. It was sold out and packed.

If the mum who I met on the 27 bus is on her - do PM me! I'd love to connect more.

I just had a notification that the production was filmed and can now be viewed online but the link was broken. If I get a revised link I will post it, but it may be findable.

I tried looking but couldn’t find it. If you do manage to get a link @RareGoalsVerge I would really like to watch it.

Watching it now - quite fun!
