Hilary (Rye Mattick, pictured centre) once protested at Greenham Common. Nowadays, her protests tend to focus on persuading her chippy, contemptuous teenage daughter to fully clothe herself when she goes out with invariably unsuitable boyfriends.

A marriage in ruins and a career on the rocks only add to the perils of life for a middle-aged mum in Walthamstow. She’s questioning her life choices and mourning her lost youth. Where did it all go wrong?

This frank and very funny family drama questions parental anxieties and explores the life, the worries, the strength, and the vulnerability of the post-feminist urban woman.

At once deliciously rude and piercingly moving, Jumpy will make any parent with a teenager in the family laugh with recognition, wince with horror, and maybe even cry a little too.

The laughs keep on coming in this comedy of mid-life crisis, which movingly captures the inequality of love between parents and their children, and there is no mistaking the emotional truth of the writing.
