About

It's 1979, Kitty is pregnant. She is on her own, not by choice.

She arrives in a mother and baby home. Nothing could have prepared her for this. The young women hold each other up with sharp, dark humour against the backdrop of the war in the North of Ireland.

The play is based on Caitriona Cunningham's lived experience of being in Marianvale Mother and Baby home in Newry. It was developed over a year with Dramaturg Emily DeDakis and a cast of stellar local actors. It is a searing portrayal of a dark time in Irish history with a 70s/80s soundtrack. The Inquiry in the North of Ireland has just begun. This play is a call to all impacted to come forward and raise their voices so that they may never again be silenced and shamed for being human. The magnificent cast lead by Aoibh Johnson...Read More
