Playwright Jane Upton has taken her experiences of motherhood and included them in a new play, (the) Woman.

Nottinghamshire company New Perspectives is touring the play which will also have a five-week run in London.

Midlands editor Steve Orme spoke to Jane Upton and New Perspectives artistic director Angharad Jones about the play and how it was conceived.
