A Mother's Trace is a collaborative performance by James Norris and Amy Camsell that questions one's ability to parent - or 'mother'. Uncovering a traumatic past and discussing the repercussions of parenting from parent to child, we take a scrupulous and unforgiving look at our potential as compassionate and caring parents.

The show runs at approximately 50 minutes.
