Be My Baby
by
Amanda Whittington
is set in a Mother and Baby Home in 1964. The play follows the fortunes of Mary Adams, aged 19, unmarried and seven months pregnant. Forcibly sent there by a mother intent on keeping up appearances, Mary – along with the other girls in the home – has to cope with the shame, isolation and the dawning realisation that she will have to give up her baby for adoption whether she likes it or not. Despite this – and an overbearing Matron – the girls youthful effervescence will keep breaking through, as they sing along to girl-group songs of the period.“ You don’t have to be young, female or unmarried to find this play intensely moving “ – The Times.
‘Be My Baby’ will next be presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from Monday 15th to Saturday 20th August.
