Mama Does Derby | Windmill Production Company | 27 Feb – 8 Mar 2026
Windmill’s Mama Does Derby makes its world premiere at the 2026 Adelaide Festival.
A hilarious and heartfelt mother-daughter tale smashes up against the exhilarating, rough and radical world of roller derby. Real players. A live band. Take a seat, trackside.
At 16, Billie is stuck, smack in the middle of the pressure of growing up and the attempt to hold it all together. To make matters worse, she and her mum have just moved to a regional town in the centre of nothing where they have to make their own fun. It’s always been just the two of them. Them against the world. Them dancing in the supermarket. Them getting the hell out after the Very Bad Thing. But Mum’s not responding well to this ‘being still’ business. She’s spiralling through her own rebellion, until she finds her freedom… in skates and sweaty elbow pads.
Co-created by Clare Watson and Virginia Gay, Mama Does Derby is a story about stacking it and getting back up.
An immersive riot of theatre. Blood pumping, fierce and funny as. This is theatre that hits different.
