Tickets cost €16.
Performed by Roseanne Purcell , ‘Baby’ tells the story of Camilla who is 36 and wants a baby.
With dark humour and honest vulnerability, 'Baby' delves into baby envy and pretend pregnancies, while journeying into a landscape of fertility clinics and assisted human reproduction.
'Baby' is full of unsolicited advice from strangers. 'Baby' is seeing a pram in the Lidl middle aisle and having an unexpected cry into a discounted microfibre cloth. 'Baby' is all your thirty-something year old friends having babies but none of them are yours.
Written by Lianne O’Hara, Lianne is a participant of Irish Theatre Institute’s Six in the Attic programme.
