Good luck, Cathrine Frost! is a comedy about childbirth, public health and philosophy. Cathrine Frost was a nurse, then an improviser, then she became a mother. This is the story of her experience. Blending humour and honesty, Cathrine breaks down our view of the profound change in the life of the person who becomes the mother and how we relate to the universal, existential act of being born
“When the baby was born, I died. What you see here is someone trying. ”
Good Luck, Cathrine Frost! looks at this difficult and sometimes hilarious event, sharing her personal journey in a dialogue with London audiences for the first

THE CORONET THEATRE
“For me, the artist is at the heart of the programme, and I work closely with the makers of the pieces I bring to London, sometimes watching and encouraging them for years. In this increasingly fractious world, I feel strongly that one of the greatest uniting forces is the international language of and desire of all of us to engage with art, whether as a maker or spectator.
My goal is to fill the theatre spaces – the Main House, Print Room Studio, and bar – with diverse and wonderful arts from across the world, celebrating all its many forms and the audiences who enjoy them”
